Boulder discovered to the south of Lordenshaw multivallate hillfort on Garleigh Moor, southeast of Rothbury, Northumberland. This standing boulder is cataloged as 'East Lordenshaw 3b' within the Beckensall Archive (BA) and documented with a single cup and groove. NADRAP recorded identical motifs several years later, but proposed the origin might be natural. Along with the motifs, the NADRAP added additional information about location to ERA: "The stone lies amidst a cairn field and within 20 meters of an ancient stone alignment / field wall. It is also close to the route leading to the hill fort."
