Boulder on Beanley Moor, approx. 2.5 miles NE of Powburn, Northumberland.
One of a number of carvings found around The Ringses hillfort and remains of other settlement sites on Beanley Moor. Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Beanley Moor 5’, the carving was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. The team describes:
“A small boulder which may have been part of a structure cairn or clearance cairn. It displays two cups, one large and one small with diameters 0.06 m and 0.035 m, which appear to have alignment to Beanley 4 some 40 m away.”
