Wooler Cottage (May 2006)

3D Model

This prehistoric carved portable rock was found in a wall in Wooler, Northumberland and was donated to the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle (now Great North Museum: Hancock). Referenced ‘Wooler Cottage’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA), NADRAP added the record to ERA in 2008, describing:

‘The stone block has been trimmed for use as a building stone and bears a small central cup - about 0.02 m, with three irregular penannular rings. The squaring of the edges has cut across the outer ring. The rings, particularly the inner one, are penannular. There is some flaking so that the edges of the rings and the ridges between them are not clearly defined throughout their length…’
