[Area NU 032001] A group of marked stones about the 500ft contour on the north-east slope, midway between the cist and the two Whitton rocks, and overlooking the south end of Rothbury golf course. No less than 20 rocks have been counted with incised markings, including one or two which have only on single cup to each. The stones are in a comparatively restricted area, and lie on three separate farms. The general features of the group are:
1. The numerical preponderance of simple unconnected cups. Cups with rings are relatively few. There are a considerable number of cups 6 inches diameter and over;
2. A large number of long channels max width 6 inches, max depth 2-1/2 inches. Some issue from basins, nearly all wavy, one over 24 feet long. Many are forked;
3. Large number of basins. Many probably originally natural and have been smoothed out. The rounded basins are up to 24 inches across. One has a cup and ring.
There is a rough line of stones 68 paces in length running north-east to south-west across the area, and two of the stones have cup marks. Near one of the large rocks containing a number of channels and basins is what appears to be a cist, 2ft 10ins by 2ft 4ins inside dimensions, lying north and south. There is also a standing stone 4ft high, other dimensions 3ft by 2ft, now leaning over at an angle. (1)

A number of marked rocks on land belonging to Mr Angus Watson. In there is what appears to be a cist, but with no coverstone. Some of the markings in this area are considerably weathered and must be considered doubtful. Most of the cups are single, with some ducts and
a few rings. The most curious feature is a number of rock channels similar to the one mentioned on Rock 5B [Northum 49 NE 25]. There are four, wholly unconnected with cups, length 23, 13, 12 and 7 1/2 feet respectively; and in the south corner of the field in which most of the marked rocks occur there are four more, connected or associated with cup markings, two about 12ft long, and two about 10ft long. One of them runs under the dry stone dyke into the next field. Most of the channels have only come to light through the removal of turf from the
rock surfaces. (2)

On February 20th 1932 a small cist at Whitton Farm on a promontory overlooking the southern end of Rothbury Golf Course was excavated by Dr A Raistrick, Mr H L Honeyman and Mr E R Newbigin.
The cist was oriented east-west and measured 2ft 10ins long, 2ft 4ins wide and 1ft 8ins to 2ft deep. No cover was visible in the neighbourhood. The material excavated from the cist contained no indication of human remains, pottery or charred matter.
About 40yds north-east of the cist is a large, flat, partially shaped stone looking very much like a cist cover. It is near an ancient line of stones, two of which have cup markings. (3)

Centred NU 062001. An area of flat rock outcrop with marking that include cups, serpentine ducts and shallow basins. Only two possible rings were seen. Some of the markings may be the result of natural weathering but most are undoubtedly of artificial origin.
Perambulation revealed no trace of the cist referred to by authorities (1) and (3). Possibly it was removed or filled in to prevent injury to stock.
Extends from NU 06260016 to NU 06310019. The line of stones referred to by authorities (1) and (3) can be traced for about 50m. Two adjoining stones have well-defined cup marks. The orientation of the line indicates that it may be an extension of another line of stones to the south-west (Northum 49 NE 6) which probably demarcated an old trackway.
'A' NU 06280018. On the north-west side of the line of stones is the possible cist cover referred to by authority (3). Roughly rectangular the stone measures 1.3m x 0.9m x 0.25m thick. There is a shallow cavity underneath but nothing to indicate that it covers a cist.
'B' NU 06220024. The standing stone referred to by Authy (1) is 0.8m x 0.5m in section with 1.2m of its height above ground. The top is pitted and on the south-west face are three small depressions, possibly pygmy cup marks. (4)

The large outcrop at NU 06240021 (C) bears the best of the markings noted by Newbigin (surveyed at 1:2500 and illustrated by GP 013.2). Others in the immediate vicinity are extremely dubious, and appear in the main to be the result of weathering.
The stone 'A' is a plausible cist cover, but as previously noted there are no certain remains of the cist itself.
Standing stone 'B' and two single cup-markings at NU 0628 0017 in the 'line of stones' surveyed at 1:2500. (5)

Whitton Burn cup-marked stone. NU 06250010. (6)

NU 0621 0024. Standing stone, 810m NE of Whittondean Farm. Scheduled RSM No 20883. A standing stone measuring 80cm by 50cm in section, with 1.2m of its height above ground, leaning backwards at an angle. The top is pitted and on the SW face there are three cupmarks. The rock is different from that outcropping in the vicinity. (7)

NU 0625 0011. Cup & ring marked rock & adjacent stone setting, 820m E of Whittondean Farm. Scheduled RSM No 20885. A large, flat rock outcrop bearing cup and ring markings and a line of upright stones. There is a variety of sizes of cup marks, but only two have clear rings. Several large basins have long, wavy channels up to 3m long apparently issuing from them. To the E there is a rough line of stones running NW-SE; two of the stones have visible cupmarks. (8)
