Smart information board next to the panels. The images show that the Panorama Stone (the largest eastern panel) was cut into four. The board also mentions that the rock art has been laser scanned.

The best of the visible art on the Panorama Stone itself.

Cup and ring on the edge of the Panorama Stone.

The eastern panel, the Panorama Stone itself. This is the stone that was cut into four. I’d mistakenly thought that the other two panels were cut from this one, but that isn’t the case; this panel was cut up into four pieces and then reassembled.

Eroded cup and ring mark on the northern edge of the central panel, just about the only part of the art on this panel that isn’t under the moss.

The central panel. The art on this rock is almost all under the moss, which at least is protecting it from the elements.

The western panel. The cupmarks on this rock are along the central spine of the panel and are mostly under moss and leaves.

We didn’t investigate this one further. Seen from Newton Bank track to the west.

Newton Mulgrave round barrow, October 2024.

The much less impressive round barrow across the road to the southwest. Apologies for the glare, looking into the sun gave the only angle where the ‘mound’ stood out enough from the deep heather to be visible!

Looking southwest. There is another (smaller) barrow in front of the tree-line, and a further barrow and standing stone which we didn’t visit in the forestry.

The top of the barrow. It benefits from what the holiday brochure would call “sea glimpses”.

The flat-topped round barrow.

Newton Mulgrave long barrow, October 2024.

The long mound from its western end.

Looking down to the coast at Hinderwell. Hinderwell Beacon round barrow crowns the little hill in the centre of the shot.

It’s a pretty big monument, even if it is reduced from its original size.

The eastern end of the long barrow.

I really liked this, it’s a very good barrow in a lovely location. I haven’t been to many long barrows that look out over the sea.

Big skies over the barrow at NZ77171390, October 2024.

Stone visible on top of the barrow at NZ77171390.

Another fine barrow at NZ77171390, the northern of a pair in the middle of the moor.

Barrow at NZ77121381, looking west-ish.

Fine round barrow at NZ77121381, one of a pair in the middle of the moor.

Decent round barrow at NZ76721367.

Round barrow at NZ76721367, towards the western end of the group. Looking south-ish.

Long zoom on Hinderwell Beacon from Stang Howe round barrow, which is inter-visible with both Danby Beacon on the moors and Hinderwell Beacon on the coast.

Stang Howe, October 2024.

Stang Howe from the east.

Looking down Borrowby Dale, which frames the coastal hilltop location of Hinderwell Beacon round barrow, distant centre.

Looking ENE. The fine Newton Mulgrave long barrow is prominent on the skyline, centre.

The overgrown top of Stang Howe, looking west-ish. The highest ground to the left of centre skyline is Danby Low Moor, crowned by Danby Beacon round barrow.

Landscape context from the northwest, seen from Park Hill. Robin Hood’s Butts are at the left-hand end of the ridge on the skyline, with Stony Marl Moor to the right. Stoupe Beck Valley below.

Standing Stones Rigg, October 2024.

Standing Stones Rigg round barrow, a little to the west of the stones, which can be seen in the background.

Looking southeast towards Ravenscar with Stony Marl/Jugger Howes Moors on the skyline.

The almost fallen northern stone.

Looking out over Robin Hood’s Bay.

Southeastern stone.

Looking west across the stones. The bright blue thing in the background is the double decker Coastliner bus on its way to Whitby.

Latter Gate Hills round barrows, October 2024. The northern barrow behind on the left, the southern barrow in the foreground.
