Old Bewick 3a (Jan 2006)

Boulder on Bewick Hill, approx. 3 miles NNE of Powburn, Northumberland. Found within a green wall E of hillfort ramparts. Referenced on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and ERA as ‘Old Bewick 3a’, the BA describes the panel as: “This large rectangular slab or boulder is embedded in the earth and stone wall; it has the unusual motif often described as foot-shaped or reniform: a rectangle with rounded narrow ends. There are five cups centring arcs or penannulars. The lower motif has an angular groove directed at the outer edge of the rock. The right hand side has two very deep penannulars on a natural promontory below which is a cup and a single ring.” The model shows additional carved features within some motifs.
