Shield Croft Farm, Hexham c

View through Europeana Collections
A roughly triangular shaped stone with the higher end housing a single deep cup mark. It has similarities with other portable stones found in cairns, but having come from a demolished building and plaster being on the surface, the 'cup' may have a more recent man-made origin. During the initial recording visit, this stone was thought to be Shield Croft Farm 'b', examination of photograpy after a subsequent visit revealed it be a different portable to 'b'.
