Blake Hill 5

View through Europeana Collections
This stone is found north of the other carvings on Blake Hill. Motifs consist of a cup with an arc on the north edge, two cups east of the arc and an elongated cup in a central position on the western side. All these features look to have peck marks present. Another depression towards the north end looks natural. The collection of stones to the south may be a cairn, whether this stone originated from there is difficult to determine. Referenced in the Blake Hill section of the 1998 publication, ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of County Durham, Swaledale and Wensleydale’.
