Boulder discovered within a cairn on Hepburn Moor, southeast of Chillingham, Northumberland This cairn and carved rock make up an unenclosed settlement recorded on the county's Historic Environment Register as reference N3627. The NADRAP Team 3 documented the stone as ‘Hepburn Moor Unenclosed 1’ in 2008 and added it to ERA, describing: “The boulder sits inside a large 4.5m by 4.0m clearance cairn built with big rocks. No formal edge or kerb surrounds the circumference of the cairn circle. Furthermore, no cist or central feature is visible. It's believed this one, like others on the plateau, is a clearance cairn… Three large depressions are thought to be definite cup marks; they're quite noticeable.” ERA record: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1049 A model was created from 5 stereo pairs captured by Joe Gibson and Keith Elliot of NADRAP Team 3 in August 2006. The images form part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England.
