Area of outcrop found WSW of The Rigg, SW of Lartington, County Durham.
This section of exposed outcrop is located on private pasture, a few hundred metres directly W of the other known panels. It was first noted during NADRAP surveys and was referenced ‘Lartington, The Rigg 15’ on ERA in 2008. The NADRAP team describe:
“This panel marks the ‘known’ western extremity of carved outcrop at Lartington Rigg, with ERA ref 940 marking the eastern extent of marked outcrop approx 790 meters away. There are three eroded cups, two of them linked with a groove which appears to extend beyond the second cup to the edge of the panel.”
As all the known ‘Lartington, The Rigg’ panels appear in an E–W strip along the same strata, there’s undoubtedly more waiting to be discovered.
