Area of probable exposed outcrop 200m SE of the Iron Age settlement / bivallate hillfort on Chattonpark Hill, Northumberland.
This thin strip of outcrop measures approx. 1.5m x 0.6m and has 5 or 6 cups on its NE facing slope. All the cups appear to have been carved parallel to the ground, rather than parallel to the slope of the stone, which may indicate the direction the carver(s) stood. Only 5 cups have been previously recorded, but this model revealed the possibility of a sixth. Recorded on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Chatton 7’ it was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008.
