Prehistoric carved rock found in the archaeology rich area of Low Plain on Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
This is one of the more conspicuous carvings on Baildon Moor. Referenced ‘IAG 156’ by Boughey & Vickerman in their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, it’s described as:
‘Medium-sized, fairly flat, smooth grit rock, apparently moved slightly. At least eighteen cups and three or more grooves.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project, subsequently added the record to ERA as ‘Low Plain 09’ in 2013. However, they noted additional motifs.
This model seems to suggest the stones morphology may have played a part in cup placement and some motifs may have been superimposed other others.
