Carved boulder near Titlington Mount, east of Powburn, Northumberland.
This possible carved boulder was a new discovery made by NADRAP Team 2 during their surveys in 2006/7. Added to ERA as ‘Titlington Mount N02’ in 2008, the team described:
“Single cup (possibly with remains of an eroded ring, only visible in good light) on west side of boulder just south of a short linear mark (possible plough damage).”
Rather than a carved ring, the cup may have been placed in such a position that the stones natural topography creates the illusion of a ring or partial ring.
