Boulder found in the Whitehill Head area of Sandyford Moor, ESE of Chatton, Northumberland.
Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) as ‘Whitehill Head / Chatton Sandyford 2’, this stone was added to ERA in 2008 with the following description:
“A series of cups and grooves on the surface of a bumpy and undulating rock. There is a clear layer of iron (overlaid by stone) to the east, exposed in the middle section and eroded away to the west. Some of the possible cups are very faint, due to planar erosion, but some to the east have very sharp edges, probably because they cut through the iron layer and have eroded at different rates…”
