Area of exposed rock situated on private property in the Fowberry Moor region, near Wooler, Northumberland. Discovered during an excavation led by Stan Beckensall and students from the University of Newcastle in 1973, this carved area of outcropping rock was previously unknown to researchers. Along with other carved sections of outcrop, the dig uncovered a double arc of cobblestones positioned on top of bedrock, some of which also bore carvings. Motifs observed include cups, cups with arcs, penannulars and grooves. Identified as 'Fowberry Excavation Site 8' in the Beckensall Archive (BA), it was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008.

A calibrated 5mp Nikon Coolpix 5400 was used to capture the imagery, which is part of the NADRAP / ERA archive. The source images were slightly out of focus, resulting in some noise on the model.
