Prehistoric carving found in a drystone wall on private farmland in Eldwick, West Yorkshire.
This stone was first noted by Mike Short during survey work for the CSI: Rombalds Moor Project in 2013. Recorded ‘Meadowsweet Farm 01’ on ERA, the team described:
‘Panel is carved on upper surface of a coarseto very coarse-grained sandstone boulder, probably glacially deposited. The stone measures approximately 0.85m x 0.65m x 0.52m high and has possibly been broken for clearance to the field wall. Carving consists of a serpentine groove with a terminal cup at each end, one very distinct, one indistinct, and a further connecting / branching groove with an indistinct cup; one dumbbell pair of cups; one clear cup connected to a groove of geological origin, seven faint cup-like depressions possibly artificial, and one groove at the edge of carved surface.’
This decimated model was created from 12 images captured by Richard Stroud (CSI Team) during a small trial of SfM techniques in August 2013.
