Prehistoric carving discovered at the southeastern end of a private moorland on Weetwood Moor, located near Wooler, Northumberland. This ancient artwork is one of more than two dozen examples found in close proximity and is identified as 'Weetwood Moor 1c' within the Beckensall Archive (BA), where it's described as: 'The outcropping rock features a design that capitalizes on its natural irregularities: a deep cup is surrounded by a ridge, situated at the center of an inner groove and a second, incomplete pear-shaped groove that occupies a shallow depression in the surrounding terrain.' NADRAP added this archaeological record to ERA in 2008. ERA & BA information can be accessed online at https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=135 Historic England lists this site as part of its historic area listing, which is accessible at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1415509 A 3D model was created using five stereo pairs captured by Joe Gibson (NADRAP Team 3) in December 2006. The images comprise a portion of the comprehensive NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England and Northumberland County Council.
