Outcrop on private farmland near Glitteringstone, approximately 1000 metres NE of Thropton, Northumberland.
This section of outcrop is referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Chirnells Moor D’ and was subsequently added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. The BA describes:
“This large slab, like a broken square, has the most rings. One ring has an open centre. Four rings have single cups. Four rings have one penannular. One cup has a small arc. There are about 30 cups of different sizes and depths. There are some faint grooves, some natural.”
Not all motifs drawn by Stan Beckensall in the 1970s can be made out on the model.
