Neolithic standing stone with Neolithic or Bronze Age cup marks, Longframlington (Longframlington)

Further towards the burn is a prominent standing stone that overlooks the little valley. (1)

NU 11980513. This alleged standing stone is a boulder about 0.8m high and 1.2m by 1.0m. The top contains several deep depressions with deep channels running from them, all caused by weathering.
This is not a typical standing stone and though it is possible the holes may have originally been caused by cup marks plus later weathering this is very doubtful. No survey action. (2)

A survey in 1996 failed to locate this stone. Reported to have been knocked over by a military vehicle when the moor was used for military tank training. (3)

The stone is still in-situ but located 30m north of the co-ordinates given in (2). (4)
