Boulder on private land near Whitton Burn, south of Rothbury, Northumberland.
This carving is referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Whitton Burn 2b’ and sits several metres south of Whitton Burn 2a’. It was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008 with Team describing:
“Panel is divided by natural/enhanced crack which may also be the result of quarrying activity. There are two large and distinct cups on larger part of panel (central) which makes little use of available space, of uniform flat surface. Other cup is flattened and eroded on top surface.”

The model was created from 4 stereo pairs captured by Joe Gibson of NADRAP Team 3 in September 2005. The imagery forms part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England & Northumberland County Council.
