Barningham Moor 95 (March 2008)

sketchfab

Cup marked rock placed prominently to the west of How Tallon ridge on Barningham Moor, County Durham. This small rectangular rock occupies a strategic location within a dense cluster of other carvings near the Romano-British settlement. Although it was clearly marked on the 1998 map in Beckensall & Laurie's publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale,' it did not receive a reference number at that time. NADRAP correctly identified this stone as 'Barningham Moor 94' on ERA in 2008, noting: "This is a small rectangular stone featuring six small shallow cups clustered towards the southern end." The ERA record can be accessed online at https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=897. Additionally, this site has been designated as an area of historic interest by Historic England, with listing number 1017441, available on their website at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017441. A 3D model was created from four images taken by the NADRAP Team in March 2006, which are part of the ERA/NADRAP archive.
