Rock art on Amersidelaw, located 215 metres east-north-east of Kay Hill in Northumberland, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age carved rock surface featuring cup-and-ring markings. The site consists of rock art pecked into the natural stone, with the characteristic cups and concentric rings that are typical of prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain, particularly associated with ritual or ceremonial purposes. Such rock art concentrations in the Northumberland uplands represent significant evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age occupation and territorial marking in the landscape, though the precise dating and cultural interpretation of individual panels remains subject to ongoing archaeological debate.
