The prehistoric carved portable rock was discovered near Suilvan House, Ellingham, in Northumberland, and later donated to the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle, now known as the Great North Museum: Hancock. According to the Beckensall Archive (BA), this artifact is referred to as 'Ellingham a'. The detailed description provided by BA states that it's a large cobble with three cups arranged in a line and surrounded by two angular grooves, featuring a thin ironstone coating that has flaked away in some areas. This intricate design fits perfectly on the small stone, suggesting it may have held special significance in its unknown context. The record was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008.

This model showcases a carved surface created from imagery captured by the NADRAP Team 2 in May 2006. The images were part of the NADRAP archive, deposited with Historic England and Northumberland County Council.
