Ray Sunniside a (Feb 2007)

Boulder found within a cairn on Ray Fell to the W of Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland. This stone is referenced ‘Ray-Sunniside a’ on the Beckensall Archive (BA) and was added to ERA by NADRAP in 2008. The NADRAP team describe: “Rock photographed in Beckensall Archive was found on N side of cairn by comparison with the photo. It has a naturally grooved face but not the cup mark recorded. Another rock 1m S of cairn has two hollows (probably natural) but not considered to be rock art. The rock with single cup originally recorded by Beckensall may now be missing or hidden within the stone pile.” ERA and BA info: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/era/section/panel/overview.jsf?eraId=1402 Model created from 3 stereo pairs captured during NADRAP recording by Joe Gibson in February 2007. The imagery forms part of the full NADRAP archive deposited with Historic England & Northumberland County Council.
