Channel Rock

Am I at the right place?

You should now see a large expanse of white rock. The carvings extend right over the edge onto the vertical face below.

Please treat the rock with care.

The channel runs over the edge. More cup marks are present on the vertical face.

This groove may have started as a natural erosion channel which was then enhanced.

The large cups are clustered near the top of the panel. Why might that be?

Adapted from Stan Beckensall original.

There are few instances in Northumberland where so many cups are found on steep surfaces.

This is the longest and largest enhanced groove in Northumberland rock art.

It is unusual to find such a large cluster of cups in Northumberland rock art without any rings around any of them.
