Model showing the prehistorically carved southern end of a large (5.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m) rectangular boulder found on the northern slopes of Rivock Edge, Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
Recorded as IAG43 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where it’s described as:
‘Large, tumbled, rectangular rock lying on hillside, immediately next to wall running up to Rivock Edge, with bedding planes vertical and showing on upper surface. Upper surface has from 6 to 9 scattered cups’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded the stone ‘Rivock 01’ on ERA in 2013 noting only 5 cups, mainly due to a covering from plantation detritus.

This model, created from a single stereo pair captured by Peter Butler (CSI Team) in June 2013 shows cups that have been countersunk. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
