Prehistoric carved rock found in the Low Plain area on Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
This carved rock is often covered by grass and is referenced ‘IAG 172’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’. The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the stone ‘Low Plain 22’ on ERA in 2012, describing:
‘Sandstone boulder minimally exposed in an elliptical shape 0.7m x 0.35m falling to 0.1m below surrounding terrain at lowest point. None of the exposed surfaces rises above the terrain. The upper surface is planar and slopes 10 degrees to the S. The carving consists of three cups in a linear arrangement, diameters 5cm, 5cm and 3cm from W to E…’
