Prehistoric rock carving discovered in a barrow near Stamfordham, Northumberland, now housed at the Great North Museum: Hancock. The carvings are described as an irregular trapezoid with cups at each angle and two separate cup marks outside the figure, bearing no apparent connection to it. The markings show evidence of rough pick marks from the initial incision process but have been largely smoothed by grinding. This record was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. ERA & BA information can be found at https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1897. A model of the carvings was created using five stereo pairs captured by David Tuck, David Jones, Caroline and Ken Allott as part of the NADRAP Team 2 in May 2006. The images are part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England and Northumberland County Council. The carving can be viewed on the museum's virtual tour at https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=vDYfDDT7LfG&help=1&vr=0.
