We (re-) visited this site on the 5th of May 2004 and unearthed some cup-marks.
The “Deershed Plantation” stone nicely labelled left of the “Stamfordham” stone in the Stone Room of NUM.
Lordenshaw-3q, lower part; the basin with surrounding cups.
Lordenshaw-3q, middle part with ‘normal’ and miniature cups
Lordenshaw, site 3q, November 2004.
The yellow square marks the rare horseshoe-like motif (2 cups connected by a curving groove). Similar motifs are found on top of Goatscrag Hill.
This sloping panel is located on the East-side of the Hill fort among other decorated outcrop rock. The panel is roughly divided into three area’s; the lower part with the basin, cups and a horseshoe-like motif, a middle section with a faint cup-and-ring and a mass of small cups and an upper part with a cup and ring and grouped cups.
A probable new panel unearthed between the main site and the wall
