Boulder in the King Wanless Green area of Haughton Common, WSW of Simonburn, Northumberland, stands as a testament to ancient times. The record was initially taken from the county Historic Environment Record, where it is described as: "Four large stones arranged like a stone-lined grave have been discovered here. The easternmost stone bears two clear Bronze Age cup marks, while others are badly eroded." NADRAP added the record to ERA referencing 'King Wanless Green (cist) 1' and noted: "The cups, although prominent, are narrow, deep, of irregular shape and located in the eroded bedding planes of an upturned sandstone slab. Their appearance, spacing, and location on the E'most stone of a cist may indicate an artificial origin, but this is hard to prove and could just be natural weathering."

A 3D model was created from 2 stereo pairs captured by Dave Tuck and David Jones (NADRAP team 2) in November 2007, forming part of the NADRAP archive.
