Positioned to the west of How Tallon ridge, on Barningham Moor, County Durham, stands a significant stone discovery. Found in a densely packed cluster of carvings west of the settlement, this stone was first unearthed by Paul Brown and is documented as reference 59 in the 1998 publication "Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale." NADRAP / ERA specifically identify the stone as "Barningham Moor 117" in their 2008 publication "Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales," which details: A rectangular slab measuring 74 by 51 x 6 centimeters features cups, cup-and-ring markings, and linking grooves. Its strategic position within the cluster raises intriguing questions, with only a few meters separating several other carved boulders, a propped-up carved boulder, and a hollow way.
