Barningham Moor 119
View through Europeana Collections
This stone measures 1.3 x 0.75m and is positioned off the brow of land sloping down to the north. The carving is no longer visible due to turf and soil coverage.
Motifs consist of eighteen cups of varying size and depth scattered about the stones surface. Towards the south-west end, is a cup with a thick groove running out.
Although not particularly complex, this stone displays the 'busiest' design for this area of Barningham Moor.
