| Millstone Burn 1c | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 1c: This panel was very near the road (some motorists tooted their horns as they went past) and parts of it were under turf and moss. Part of the line of cups visible on the ERA photographs were covered by moss, which we left undisturbed. It was difficult to distinguish any other cu... Read More |

| Millstone Burn 1d | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Millstone Burn 1d: This rock art panel is just to the east of the A697 and largely covered in turf. There is a deep scar in the rock which looks relatively recent. It also has a curious vein of quartz which runs through the rock. | 71 | 6 |
| Millstone Burn 1e | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 1e: On the eastern side of the A697, not far from the gate into the field. This was the stone at the grid reference given, but was almost completely buried under moss/turf, with one end of it seeming to have been grazed by farm machinery, which had taken off the moss and a shallow la...

| Millstone Burn 2e | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 2e: This rock is not far upslope from Millstone Burn 2dd and 2d. Again, without GPS we would have struggled to find this rock, and we did struggle to identify any of the motifs - Beckensall described these as two ringed cups and two other cups, one with a natural groove leading to it...

| Millstone Burn 2dd | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 2dd: only 15m away from Millstone Burn 2d, and relatively easy to find amongst all the other boulders in the field. As these motifs are on top of the rock, they must have been designed to have been seen as you were coming down the hillside.
This rock looks very different shapes de... Read More |

| Millstone Burn 2d. | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 2d: Closer to the A697, it's a good job we had the GPS to find this panel. In usual Tate style, we'd brought everything but a bottle of water to bring out the motifs. I had to call up the ERA media (photos and sketch) on my phone to ensure we understood what we were seeing. There re... Read More |

| Millstone Burn 2bb | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Millstone Burn 2bb: This would be a 'short walk on a footpath' if we'd come in through the gate we used at our last visit. This time we approached it from Millstone Burn 2c, walking down the hill towards the start of the bend in the A697 from Longframlington. The rock was instantly recognisable fro... Read More |

| Millstone Burn 4c | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 7th May 2018 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Millstone Burn 4c: It was so hot at home this morning that we decided to seek cooler climes. Husband had compiled a list of rock art panels that looked interesting and their grid references. After having found the gps, we set off for Longframlington, this time parking round the bend at a larger en... Read More |
