Rock art on Amersidelaw is a Prehistoric carved rock surface located in Northumberland in the north of England. The carvings comprise cup-and-ring marks, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age and earlier periods in northern Britain, typically dating from around 3000 to 1500 BCE. The site lies approximately 290 metres north-west of Drakestruther Moss and forms part of the wider tradition of ritual or symbolic marking on natural rock outcrops that occurs throughout upland areas of northern England and Scotland. Such rock art panels remain significant archaeological evidence for understanding Prehistoric ritual practice and territorial expression in the landscape.
