Scheduled prehistoric carved boulder discovered on private land within Stobgreen Plantation, north of Eggleston, County Durham. First documented by Paul Brown in 1996, this rock was referred to as 'Stobgreen Plantation 3' by NADRAP on ERA and described as: A flat and very white panel with small markings on a relatively large open canvas. The panel lies flat on the ground, covered by turf and soil. Parallel grooves are likely bedding planes or cracks that have been unusually enhanced. Two cups are clearly visible; possibly a third. The grid reference on ERA is incorrect (off by 300 meters). Historic England record NZ00935 23554.
