Old Bewick 3f

View through Europeana Collections
This is a low-lying boulder, sloping away from a southern edge, beneath turf cover. It is fine-grained and hard, rounded on the edges and with only two motifs on the general slope of the rock. There are two natural parallel cracks, other cracks, a shallow bowl and iron-based nodules present. The main motif is complicated and appears unique in nature. The outer penannular has a marked point or apex at the western edge. The central component is a single, small, ring of 0.03 m diameter. The inner penannular seems to spiral the other. The view is commanding to the north-west and good to north and east. The sea may be visible on the horizon to the south-east. Other rock art panels are close at hand and visible (others are groups 1 and 3); especially noted if looking at the main motif are the larger Old Bewick 1a and 2 panels. The view north-east includes the Blawearie Cairn.
