Carved stone positioned to the west of How Tallon ridge, on Barningham Moor, County Durham.
This angular stone sits in a dense cluster of other carvings to the west of the settlement area. It’s referenced 61 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 78’ in 2008. A number of cup-like depressions can be found scattered on the surface. Some look artificial, others appear natural.
