This is one of a number of carved rocks found in the late Stuart Feather’s private archive. It was subsequently donated to Bradford Met Council and put in storage at the Manor House Museum, Ilkley. Dr Keith Boughey referenced the stone IAG211a in his regional records, and after researching Stuart Feather’s archive, concluded this example was most likely found in the Bucking Hill area of Rombalds Moor in 1957. Keith Boughey describes:
‘Small, dressed, rectangular slab of rock with a clear cup and ring and comet groove leading off, resembling a keyhole.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the stone ‘Bucking Hill 03’, and added the record to ERA in 2013.

This decimated model just shows the carved surface and was created from 4 images captured by Richard Stroud (CSI team) in April 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive deposited with ERA /ADS.
