I had some fun re-finding this beauty, it took 2 goes today. A small but near perfect cup and ring marked rock on Longframlington Common in Northumberland. It goes by the snappy name of "Millstone Burn 2h". Probably Bronze Age judging by the good state of preservation. #Carving #CupAndRing #RockArt #History #BronzeAge #Northumberland #Ancient

Apparently #WaterfallWednesday is a thing too.
My favourite #Northumberland #waterfall is Routin Lynn.
The name means 'roaring pool' in Old English, and is also the name of a nearby farm. The steep little gorge into which the waterfall drops combines with with large #prehistoric ditches, and another deep burn that joins this one, to create an enclosed, triangular area.
The usage is unknown, but just outside the ditches is a large rock outcrop with #CupAndRing carvings.
A lot of people comment on how peaceful it feels here.
