The NMR reckons there are a couple of cupmarks on this stone, it does make the proviso that the stone is weathered, which it is, but the cups are a bit dubious. It's a similar stone to many of those in Northumbria, some of which have undeniable cups, but these two are a bit iffy, maybe it's because they've been well hammered by the elements. I couldn't for the life of me get a decent photo of them. Strangely, Stan B doesn't include them in any of his books, nor are they on the online Archive. It's a canny old stone though.

A nice enough little stone.......handily just over a metal gate so access is pretty straightforward. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

The tale attributed to a stone further to the south of Northumberland may actually be this stone. The tale of subterranean creatures released during an attempt to find buried treasure can be seen here Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
