Boulder found S of Lordenshaw hillfort on Garleigh Moor, S of Rothbury, Northumberland. This upright boulder is referenced ‘East Lordenshaw 3a’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and recorded as “One cup and three curved grooves, one of which is tentative.” NADRAP subsequently recorded it on ERA as : “Single cup and groove are evidently artificial, some natural erosion has enlarged grooves into ‘possible’ bloodline characteristics. Grooves are clearly defined - but may have been enhanced by natural erosion. Panel has central ridge with marks on one side. Other side, which is steeper sloping face, has indications of peck marks to form channels.” Historic England area listing: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017196 ERA & BA info: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1345 Model created from 5stereo pairs captured by Joe Gibson of NADRAP Team 3 in August 2005.
