Whitton Burn 2a (ERA ID: 1233)
-
Description
This is an almost square panel of stone lying flush with the ground. It is unknown for certain if this is a boulder or quarried stone as only the uppermost (decorated) face is visible and vegetation is tight around the edge. There is evidence of such quarrying of outcrop in the immediate area of this panel. However, this stone is of some archaeological interest; the panel bears two types of motifs. These are simple cup marks and cup and (single) ring marks. The cup and ring marks are also different to each other; one appears pecked and angular. The motifs are scattered across the surface. Whether or not this is a boulder quarried from the adjacent outcrop is uncertain. However, the panel is situated on or near the top of a broad ridge. This position gives good views in most directions - including much of the North Lordenshaw group 6 panels, on the opposite side of the Whitton stream..... -
