North Lordenshaw 6z(i)

View through Europeana Collections
This newly identified panel possesses two single cup marks at one end of the rock. They were identified both at one end of the rock. One appears to have been damaged - this is the larger of the two, quite deep and about 0.09 m diameter size. The second, nearer the edge of the panel, is slightly smaller at 0.06 m diameter. However, it should be borne in mind that this and the immediately adjacent North Lordenshaw 6z have been subject to quarrying in the past. The panel is a small piece of outcrop rock gently sloping in natural profile, more sharply where quarried. There are natural marks of distinction across the whole of the surface, with gentle undulations present. The surface is therefore sparingly decorated, with the potential for further motifs to be observed. The panel has good views across the Whitton Burn and Whittondean Valleys to the northeast, and the Coquet beyond. Other rock art is in the vicinity, but not within view.
