Yeah, I spotted that but if you go on keys to the past there are three rock arts listed that are near this site and listed as being at Alnwick. Unless I missed something what I could see at the link you give was that the 11 were all still in their original context and 2 were listed as moved from site?

Keys to the past lists 3 as being moved to Alnwick, obviously one of these might not be listed under "beanley portable"? Also the map sites show on Keys to the past for the moved rocks must be "guesstimates" as the portable rock details give no exact details of the original location?

The Keys to the past reference ids are N3151/3163/4368. I think N4368 is Beanley Portable A.

Generally speaking Mac, the Beckensall archive is more on the ball than K2P. Obviously just for the rock art, not the other stuff, though you bhave to be a bit wary of K2P sometimes, as they've used some slightly iffy sources at times, and their classifications/nomenclatures cover records from quite a few decades, so sometimes the same sites or group of sites can be enetered more than once under different names, and sometimes different site types. Their mapping is pretty good though, though not usually as accurate as the BA, it has those lovely old maps just a click away.

Good example is those Beanley portables, there are 3 carved stones in the Postern Tower of Alnwick Castle, but one of them is from a wall in Inghoe:

There's also Beanley on Rockartuk's British Rock Art Collection:

The front page of which shows some nice examples of rarely seen Northumbrian RA, curently held captive in the British Museum :)
