Human: 2 portable boulders sit comfortably in a private collection, nestled south of Witton Gilbert, County Durham. The largest rock is meticulously recorded as ‘Witton Hall Farm 1’ and was added to the ERA database by NADRAP in 2008. It originally resided in a field approximately 300m west of the farm, situated in the same geographic area as Witton Gilbert 1. Distinct motifs consist of intricately carved cups and surrounding grooves.

The accompanying imagery forms a vital part of the NADRAP / ERA archive.
