| Howden Hill Middle Cairn | Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 20th Apr 2019 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Howden Hill Middle Cairn: From the rock art panels, it is only just over 150m to walk to this cairn, which is the most prominent of the two on this side of the ridge above Settlingstones Burn.
In a very lovely spot, the make up of the cairn from stones and earth becomes evident. It is around 9m i... Read More |

| Howden Hill 3 | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 20th Apr 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Howden Hill/Settlingstone Burn 3: Standing at the Howden Hill Rock Art Panels 1 and 2, two large stones and a large erratic were prominent on the skyline a couple of hundred metres to the east. They looked well worth investigating, so we followed the tractor trail up to the them. Wow. The location ... Read More |

| Howden Hill Cist | Cist | England | Northumberland | Visited | 20th Apr 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Possible stone lined cist and stone setting on Howden Hill: Getting to the sheepfold near the two cairns and the rock art panels was a little challenging, as we had to cross electric fences, cross a number of field drains, boggy areas, and avoid the deep tufts and holes in some parts of the access l...

| Howden Hill 1 | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 20th Apr 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Howden Hill 1: Rock Art panel within Bronze Age Stone setting, not far to the south of Hadrian's Wall. Setting is quite fascinating, comprising cists, cairns, low banks and rock art. We had not expected to see this cists, so this came as a nice surprise. Whilst we could see quite deep cups on this ...

| Howden Hill 2 | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 20th Apr 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Howden Hill 2: Literally 1m to the north of Howden Hill 1, and has most visible. It is clear that both rocks continue under the turf, but not wishing to cause any damage, viewed them as they were. Having seen Andy Curtis's photograph on Geograph beforehand, I'd expected both panels to be covered in... Read More |
