Area of carved bedrock known as the ‘Hanging Stones Rock’ on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
This model shows the central area of carved outcrop saved from the quarryman’s chisel in the mid 19th century. Comprised of coarse grit sandstone the undulating surface is pock marked with differentially weathered irregular bowls and solution holes, some of which resemble cup marks. Towards the western end of the rock, is a highly eroded cellular design incorporating cups and grooves.
Having being recorded and drawn by various people from the mid 19thC onwards, it was added by CSI: Rombalds Moor Project to ERA in 2013.
