Cup and ring marked rock south-west of Wagtail Farm (Cartington)
[Marginal]. About 300 yards south of the last cup marked rock, near a path leading up to Garleigh Moor and Lordenshaws, is a rock almost flush with the ground with two cup and ring markings, and a number of plain cups; the pocking process by which the cups and rings were made is plainly visible.

About 1/2 mile south of Whitton on the northern edge of Garley Moor, close to a fence that divides the moor from a field, on the right of a footpath, there is a fine specimen of an inscribed rock. It measures 6ft east-west by 5 1/2ft north-south, and has nine simple cups, and three cups with rings, with diameters of 4 and 5ins. (3)
NU 06560015. A large flat rock, measuring 1.5m by 1.4m, protruding above the ground little more than 0.7m, has upon its flat surface, two cups with one ring, and 10 small cups. Most of the rock is covered by heather.
It lies 5m east of the fence, and is one of a large group of boulders and exposures of living rock scattered either side of the fence at this point. It is approximately 290m SSW of the cup marked stone NU 00 SE 11. [NRHE lists this number as Northum 50 NW 8]. (4)
Condition unchanged. Surveyed at 1/2500. (5)
NU 06550015. Whitton Burn cup and ring marked stone. (6)
NU 0656 0014. Cup & ring marked rock, 940m SW of Wagtail Farm. Scheduled RSM No 20882. A piece of exposed bedrock measuring 1m by 1.5m and displaying 11 carved cupmarks. These form three horizontal lines of two, three and six cups respectively. The cupmarks are of variable size but in general measure between 7cm and 15cm. One of them clearly has a groove or ring around it, 5cm across. (7)
