Wallington Newhouses b (May 2007)

Relocated small stone found on private farmland near Wallington, Northumberland. This is one of a number of small artificially marked stones recorded on the Beckensall Archive (BA) in the Wallington Newhouses area. These stones and a number of querns were found near a probable Romano – British settlement. Although the exact BA reference isn’t known, NADRAP added the record to ERA as ‘Wallington Newhouses b’ and described: ‘One single cup mark, roughly circular as 0.05 m to 0.06 m diameter by 0.015 m depth. The motif is little more than finger-tip depth at the base. There is no pecking in the sloping sides of the motif, and two marks in the base are thought possible markings only.’ They also noted tooling.
