Found on sloping ground, just off the main settlement site below How Tallon ridge on Barningham Moor, County Durham.
Recorded ‘50’ in Beckensall & Laurie’s 1998 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’, NADRAP referenced this carving ‘Barningham Moor 69’ on ERA in 2008. The team described the following:
“This carving consists of seven cups of varying size, mainly found towards the stones southern end. The three central most cups are small and may not be artificial. Towards the north end, a cup is enclosed by a large, rectangular, peck marked groove, the groove has a cup incorporated at the southern end. The motifs appear to be crudely carved.”
