Asset Overview
Probable outcrop in a 50 metre long Neolithic Long Cairn within a private plantation on Dour Hill, NW of Rochester, Northumberland.
Referenced ‘Dour Hill Long Cairn c’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) the motifs are described as:
‘About 15 cups, one with a faint penannular, on an almost vertical outcrop at the eastern approach to the mound.’
NADRAP added a record to ERA in 2008, but moss and detritus coverage prevented cross referencing of motifs.
