Image of Weetwood 8 (Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art) by rockartuk

The motif in the box on this collective drawing of “Weetwood North” panels (Stan’s “Prehistoric Rock Art in Northumberland”, page 56) is the one photographed by Hob. It seems that the drawing was not made after a rubbing. There are (much?) more motifs at Weetwood-8 waiting to be discovered.

My interpretation of the carvings on this bit of outcrop differ wildly frm that shown on the Beckensall Archive. It could be a conflict of interpretation, or an entirely different stone in the under documented* group of ‘Weetwood 8‘

* With a notable exception

Stan's Drawing

The mighty Beckensall’s interpretation, presumably based on a rubbing of a stone in the area of Weetwood 8. Despite confusion regarding the exact location and number of carvings, efforts have been made to ameliorate the apparent ambiguities.
