West Horton 1a (March 2007)

sketchfab

Prominent outcropping situated on private farmland, approximately a half-mile northwest of West Horton, Northumberland. The largest carved exposure along this 60-meter stretch measures around three meters by two meters and is located on the north-facing slope. Motifs feature various cup and ring designs, as well as uncommon long curvilinear grooves partially enclosing other motifs. While some designs are heavily eroded, others near the base still display tooling marks, indicating they have been concealed for centuries or millennia. Recorded in the Beckensall Archive (BA) as 'West Horton 1a,' it was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. Unfortunately, both the NADRAP and BA records are sparse, likely removed inadvertently: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=65 Historic England scheduling: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1006532 Model created from 11 stereo pairs captured by Kevin Malloy in March 2007.
