Barningham Moor 6 (Nov 2006)

Ground level boulder found 5 metres W of Woodclose Gill in the Scale Knoll Allotment area of Barningham Moor, County Durham. This elongated panel is a scheduled monument and referenced 13a in Beckensall & Laurie’s 1998 publication, ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’. It was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008 as ‘Barningham Moor 6’. Design consists of cups enclosed by grooves and a cup with an irregular ring. Tooling marks can still be seen in some of the motifs. The cup and ring towards the west is usually turf covered and is in a particularly good state of preservation. Presumably, it went to ground shortly after being carved.
