A prehistoric carved rock found on private land in the Rough Holden area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
First recorded by Paul Bowers, this rock was added to ERA by the CSI: Rombalds Moor project as ‘Rough Holden 04’, and described as: ‘…3 cups at N end in a line E-W are 5cm diameter, 1 cup at E edge is 7cm x 2cm deep which has from it a long curving groove down to SW edge of rock. Where groove enters cup it is broader and deeper and to SW is possibly carved. On SE quadrant of rock are 2 shallow cups probably carved, 2 shallow cup like depressions possibly carved and 2 natural depressions.’
This model shows the motifs are more complex than previously recorded, with shallow grooves, additional cups, possible rings and the stones topography being used in the design.
This decimated model was created from 3 stereo pairs captured by Dave Spencer (CSI Team) in March 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
