Carved boulder on Snook Bank, north of Longframlington, Northumberland.
Snook Bank is an area rich in archaeological remains from prehistory through to fairly modern times. This carved boulder, described as a possible standing stone by Stan Beckensall is referenced ‘Snook Bank 1c’ on the Beckensall Archive. It was recorded by NADRAP and added to ERA in 2008. NADRAP Team 2 describes:
“Rock is pyramid-shaped with very steep sides, either set up as a standing stone or naturally left in this position. Erosion on top surface and sides presumably along bedding planes.
Deep natural channels and fluted top with a single deep cup. Impossible to tell if cup has a natural or artificial origin.”
