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.

The spirals are hard to spot due to lichen but there’s a clear tripple spiral just under the right upper corner.
A very small spiral, not noticed on former visits, just above the edge of a lintel. There’s not so much room to take the good pic but don’t make -not even a small- step backwards unless you like river swimming!
The main panel with, among other very interesting motifs, the horned spiral.
Close-up of the main panel. We call the part on the right “a bird on her nest”. These motifs do really trigger your fantasy!
