Prehistoric carving found in the Low Plain area of Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
Referenced ‘IAG 180’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, it’s described as:
‘Small, low-lying, weathered coarse grit triangular rock, with slightly rounded surface. 1 cup with possible faint weathered circular groove (or ring), 2 possible further cups.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the same stone ‘Low Plain 29’ on ERA in 2012. They noted similar motifs and a possible additional cup and groove.
This model appears to show the ‘circular groove (or ring)’ may be the rocks topography, and the appearance of a ring may have more to do with placement and light direction.
