Small, ground level, prehistoric carved rock found in one of the main footpaths on Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
Not referenced in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, this carving was recorded ‘Low Plain 06’ by the CSI: Rombalds Moor Project in 2012. On ERA they describe:
‘… Carving consists of three well-formed cups in an arc, the centre cup enclosed by a narrow irregular ring with the cup centrally placed. Panel is regularly scuffed and scratched and is at serious risk of further damage…’
This model shows a second cup may have a faint ring, or the stones topography has been used to create the illusion of one.
