 Weetwood
cairn and carved kerbstone (ERA 766) at NU02262811. This rebuilt cairn
has a badly worn kerbstone that has a central cup with three grooves
radiating from it as well as four concentric rings. The carvings are
so eroded that in the direct sunlight I could hardly make them out at
all.

Moor 5a (ERA 127) at NU02152824. A complex carving on a flat rock partly
overgrown by a gorse bush. The shadows cast by the vegetation make this
another design that is difficult to work out but the inset illustration
should allow the main motifs to be picked out in the photograph. There
are four main cup and ring designs, those to the left and right have
a cup with four rings each and both also have a gutter running out towards
the edge of the rock. Towards the centre a pair of cups have two rings
each with one motif having a short gutter that heads towards a small
single cup and ring. Elsewhere there are about a dozen cups, one with
a small ring that may be partly overlaid by the larger motif on the
right.

 Weetwood
Moor 7 (ERA 155) at NU02272815. This is another overgrown flat rock
where the markings were difficult to make out, there are between seven
and ten cups with a pair towards the top of the picture having worn
rings.
