Rock art on Amersidelaw, 215m ENE of Kay Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock carving site located in Northumberland. The monument consists of cup-and-ring markings incised into the natural rock surface, a form of prehistoric rock art widely distributed across northern Britain and dating to the period between approximately 3000 and 1500 BC. Such carvings represent some of the earliest artistic expression in the British Isles, though their precise ritual or symbolic significance remains uncertain. The site contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and artistic practices in the upland regions of northern England during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
