Carved stone positioned to the west of How Tallon ridge, on Barningham Moor, County Durham.
This diamond shape stone sits in a dense cluster of other carvings to the west of the settlement area. It’s referenced 58a in Beckensall & Laurie’s 1998 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’, and was added to ERA by NADRAP as ‘Barningham Moor 77’ in 2008. The team recorded:
“…The motifs consist of one cup in a central position (0.05m diameter and 0.03m depth) and two further depressions at the north west end.”
On this model, the central cup appears to have faint traces of a partial ring….could be natural though.
