Ferney Chesters N01 (May 2007)

Rock on private farmland near Ferney Chesters to the NE of Capheaton, Northumberland. A record for cup marks in this area was first recorded on Northumberland County Council’s Historic Environment Record. The site was subsequently surveyed during the NADRAP project, where this panel was referenced ‘Ferney Chesters N01’ and described: ‘...Almost pyramidal in shape with a much weathered pointed top. The sides slope in all directions at steep angles; the western sloping displays a single cup mark on a slightly raised area. It is well-rounded and very deep, measuring 0.02 m deep and 0.08 m in diameter. It has been carved into a surface now vertical but it is unknown if the motif was carved with the stone as it now is…’ ERA info: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1619 Model created from a stereo pair captured by Joe Gibson (NADRAP Team 3) in May 2007. The imagery forms part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England & Northumberland County Council.
