Rock art on Amersidelaw is a collection of prehistoric cup and ring markings located in Northumberland. The carvings, which comprise cup marks and concentric ring patterns pecked into natural rock surfaces, are characteristic of Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking practices, though precise dating remains uncertain. Such rock art is distributed across northern Britain and represents one of the most enigmatic forms of prehistoric expression, with interpretations ranging from astronomical or shamanistic significance to territorial or social markers. The site's remote moorland location, northwest of Achnacarry Plantation, is typical of many such rock art concentrations in upland areas of northern England.
