Hob asked "...What kind of stone are the classic Northumberland cupnrings on?"

The ones I've seen up here are deffo sandstone, a mostly grey variety with some iron-red patches. The reason the carvings have survived is cos they have been covered by vegetation over for so long. You only have to see the [recently uncovered] ones at Chatton to realise they aint gonna last long open to the elements.
Everyone: Come and see them while you can :-(
