Broomridge
1 (ERA-5) at NT97303711. Overview of the carved rock looking south towards
the valley of the River Till with Doddington Moor on the horizon towards
the left. The rock is very exposed near the edge of the ridge and as
a consequence the carvings are quite worn and difficult to make out.

Broomridge
1. Detail of the carvings on the southern end of the rock. The largest
carving to the left has a central cup with a pair of widely spaced rings
and a groove running through it while two other cups also have double
rings. Three cups sit at the centre of wide single rings, one with a
long groove that runs across the bottom of the picture while another
ring encloses a pair of cups. Towards the top of the rock is a cup with
possibly four worn full or partial rings with the separate triangular
section at the top of the picture also having a pair of worn rings.

overgrown with heather and lichens but the upper centre area of the
photograph has three concentric rings with the traces of part of a fourth
ring (see inset diagram).

Broomridge
2 (ERA 7) at NT97043705. Although this large sheet of outcropping rock
near the edge of Broomridge has several cup and ring carvings including
one with 6 or possibly 7 rings when I visited the rock it was getting
late in the evening and I only managed to find a worn 3 ring motif without
a central cup shown above and the cups in the picture below.
