Boulder found on private farmland towards the E end of Rivock Edge on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
First reported on the The Northern Antiquarian website in Jan 2012, the stone was subsequently recorded by the CSI: Rombalds Moor Project on ERA as ‘Rivock Edge 01’. Both archives describe a mixture of natural and artificial markings with the CSI team noting:
‘There is a large number of cup-like depressions tightly clustered on the northern edge of the rock, varying in size from 10cm diameter to 2cm. Seven cups were identified as having typical prehistoric profile, but an additional 30 plus cups, some conjoined, some clustered around larger cups seemed less typical. It is difficult to say whether individual cups are natural or artificial…’
This decimated model was created from 9 stereo pairs captured by Richard Stroud (CSI Team) in November 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
