One of five prehistoric carved rocks found in private woodland in the Hawksworth Spring area, near Hawksworth, West Yorkshire.
This example was found by Mike Short in 2012, around 450 metres SE of other carvings in the Hawskworth Spring cluster. CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded the stone ‘Hawksworth Spring 04’ on ERA in 2013, describing:
‘The motifs, which consist of 2 cups, are carved on the fairly flat upper surface in a central position. The most easterly and most definite of the cups has an 8 cm diameter and depth of just over 1 cm. The second cup is 0.25 m to the W of this and covered in lichen, which makes it difficult to determine whether it is carved or not.’
The smaller cup looks definite.
