Boulder on private farmland near Ferney Chesters to the NE of Capheaton, Northumberland.
A record for cup marks in this area first appeared on Northumberland County Council’s Historic Environment Record. This panel was subsequently surveyed during NADRAP and referenced ‘Ferney Chesters N05’ on ERA. The team noted:
‘…Four cups, pluse one very shallow and indefinite cup. One group is relatively deep, compared to thers, 0.02-0.03m compared to 0.01-0.02m. All cups show peck marks, the shallower ones having the appearance of incompleteness. Two cups are joined by a shallow, indefinite groove.’
