Boulder found south of Lordenshaw hillfort on Garleigh Moor, south of Rothbury, Northumberland. This upright boulder is marked 'East Lordenshaw 3a' in the Beckensall Archive (BA) and recorded as "One cup and three curved grooves, one of which is uncertain." NADRAP subsequently listed it on ERA: "Single cup and groove are clearly man-made, some natural erosion has enlarged grooves into 'probable' bloodline characteristics. Grooves are easily defined - but may have been enhanced by natural erosion. Panel features a central ridge with marks on one side. The other side, which is a steeper sloping face, shows signs of peck marks forming channels."
