Kammer is correct, this is taken directly from Stukeley’s Itinerarium Curiosum.
Taken fron Borlase’s “Antiquities of the County of Cornwall” (2nd ed, 1769), where he credits ‘The Gentleman’s Magazine, May 1763, p248.

When stood at panel 2, looking south, panel 1 falls dead into line with the strange rock formations at cloudy crags.
Detail of panel 2, showing the difference twixt weathered and unweathered.
Panel 2 covered over. Blink and you miss it.

Looks like an enhanced natural feature to me. Single cup mark top right.
The C&Rs are in the background, the single cup and the possibly enhanced basin in the foreground.
Hunterheugh 4, detail of the most prominent C&R.
Very eroded. Blink and you miss ‘em.
This set of C&Rs on panel 1 echo the arrangement of the motifs at Hunterheugh 4, or maybe it’s the other way round.
Cup mark a couple of metres north of the markings listed on the Beckensall Archive. Next to a natural (enhnaced?) shallow basin.

Panel 1 visible in the background.
From ‘Incised rocks...‘
Interesting to note he’s missed out the groove that links the two larger motifs.
View down the Tyne valley to the SW, past Corbridge, over Hexham way. The stone isn’t in it’s original position, but probably came from pretty close by, with more or less the same view.
Thornborough High Barns in the background.

(It’s a big book, each page is A1 and I’m afraid I couldn’t photoshop the pagefold out!)
