Possible carving on Snook Bank, north of Longframlington, Northumberland.
Snook Bank is an area rich in archaeological remains from prehistory through to fairly modern times when millstones were extracted. This boulder was found by Team 2 during NADRAP recording and was added to ERA as ‘Snook Bank N16’ in 2008. The team describe:
“Outcropping rock, at least half covered by turf. New discovery by NADRAP survey. Single cup with surrounding bulge which may indicate presence of an eroded ring.”
This model appears to show the cup placed centrally on the bulge mentioned. This gives the appearance of a ring without one actually being carved. This is a characteristic seen elsewhere on Snook Bank and other rock art sites in the British Isles.
