Possible prehistoric carved rock found in the Lanshaw Delves area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
First identified by John Webb, this stone is recorded on the local Historic Environment Record. It is located S of a quarried moraine and 10 metres NE of a small cairn and arcing bank. The CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded this example ‘Lanshaw Delves 02’ on ERA in 2013, describing:
‘…a sandstone boulder, roughly elliptical in shape, and measuring 1.10 x 0.65 x 0.2m high, with major axis N-S and minor axis E-W. The boulder is flat-topped with a slight slope down to W. Bedding planes are visible on the flat top running roughly E-W. Some moss encroachment on all sides. A single cup of 6cm diameter is present approx. 20cm N of the SE vertex’
This decimated model was created from 4 stereo pairs captured by Peter Butler & Tony Morley (CSI team) in January 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
