Stone found within a cairn on Weetwood Moor, near Wooler, Northumberland.
This carved stone was first noticed by Stan Beckensall in 1982 after clearance work had been carried in the area. For further info on the story surrounding this stone, please see the Beckensall Archive Notes on ERA record. Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Weetwood Cairn Kerbstone’ it was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. Of the motifs, Stan records:
“The standing stone (kerb stone), now turned outward, has motifs that are echoed at Buttony and close by at Whitsunbank 2. There is a central cup from which three grooves radiate. The grooves were in position before three concentric rings were added. There is an additional concentric arc at the bottom, outside which is a single cup with a faint arc.”
