Football Cairn g

This is a large panel divided into sections by quartz banding, with only two possible motifs apparent on a very large expanse of available rock. Only one of the cups was thought to artificial during recording. There are many other similar depressions on the panel and adjacent stone which appear, possibly natural. The likely cup is round and quite shallow with a border that has the appearance of being countersunk. Intervisibility to this site is excellent with wide expansive views over the Coquet, to the Cheviots and eastwards to the sea. Sites at Lordenshaw, Simonside and Chirnells are visible. Football Cairn is the highest point in this immediate landscape. Many other un-marked, large and very similar surfaces exist within 50 m.
