Prehistoric carved rock found in the Lanshaw Delves area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
This rock was first identified by John Webb and subsequently added to the county Historic Environment Record. The CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded the stone ‘Lanshaw Delves 03’ on ERA in 2013, describing the motifs as:
‘…the central section of the rock has two clear cups both approx. 6cm diameter; the southern section has a cup (possibly natural) and a deep, entirely natural undercut depression/basin of 10cm x 12cm. A deep, sinuous groove runs from the basin 40cm NE to the fissure; it is possibly natural or enhanced natural.’
Dr Keith Boughey added and then withdrew the record from his regional archive believing the markings to be natural. However, a natural origin appears unlikely judging from this model.
This decimated model was created from 7 stereo pairs captured by Richard Stroud (CSI team) in March 2013. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
