Highburn House (April 2008)

sketchfab

The Stone found on private land on the east banks of Humbleton Burn is located just north of Highburn House in Wooler, Northumberland. First noted by Jan Brouwer in 2007, it was subsequently recorded and added to the Early Research Archive by NADRAP in 2008 as 'Highburn House 1'. The team discovered: "The motifs are fairly simple, consisting of three cups of varying size with the largest being in a central position. Towards the northwest end is an irregular ring enclosing an offset cup, a further cup may also be incorporated into the northwest of the ring, but it could be a natural depression. All four sides of the stone show signs of being broken… Whether it's in situ or has been moved by floodwater or man is difficult to determine, but the surrounding eroded banks may suggest that it's unlikely to be in an original position."

The imagery forms part of the NADRAP / ERA archive.
