Boulder on private farmland near Ferney Chesters to the NE of Capheaton, Northumberland.
A record for cup marks in this area was first recorded on Northumberland County Council’s Historic Environment Record. This panel was subsequently surveyed during NADRAP and referenced ‘Ferney Chesters N03’ on ERA, with the motifs described as:
‘At least three large single cup marks were identified on this panel. These are well rounded and deep depressions near the top of the panel. There are at least four slighter depressions elsewhere across the rock surface - which it might be thought further cup marks. The cup marks are typically 0.05m to 0.09m in diameter in size, and about 0.03m deep…’
The stone is incorporated in walling.
