Probable prehistoric carved boulder discovered on private land within Stobgreen Plantation, north of Eggleston, County Durham. Possibly listed as 'D10312' in the county's Historic Environment Record. NADRAP added this record to ERA referencing 'Stobgreen Plantation N01' and describing: 'Two cups and one possible cup, carved into the flat surface of a boulder, are shallow and large in diameter compared to the panel measuring 0.09 - 0.10 meters in diameter and 0.02 meters deep. Noteworthy is this triangular, pointed rock with large cups carved into its pointed end. The stone is very quartz-rich and has voids where crystals have dropped out. The cups are almost certainly artificial and similar in size, though not depth, to Brackenheads 3 which is approximately 500 meters away.'
