Padon Hill N01 (Feb 2006)

sketchfab

Large boulder on Pandon Hill, Blackburn Common, north of Bellingham, Northumberland. This rock was initially believed to be a new discovery during NADRAP surveys and is referenced 'Pandon Hill N01' on ERA. It was visited by two different NADRAP teams during recording, both giving conflicting assessments as to whether the features were most likely natural or artificial. While some of the features appear natural, others are characteristically cup-like in shape. Stan Beckensall recorded 'Pandon Hill a' just three meters away, so this example should not be entirely dismissed. ERA info: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1482. This model was created from three images captured by Team 4 in February 2006. The imagery forms part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England and Northumberland County Council.
