This broken carved rock was found during excavations by the Bingley & District Historical Society run ‘Stanbury Hill Project’ on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire in 2011.
CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the carving as ‘Stanbury Hill 012’ on ERA noting:
‘…a small half-elliptical sandstone rock 0.225m x 0.187m by 0.10m thick and once forming half of a larger panel… A triangular flake of rock is missing to the carved face, along the straight edge, perhaps shows point of impact of deliberate breakage. The truncated cup is approx 5cm – 6cm diameter and 1.7cm deep with now surviving arc approx. 3cm across. Inside the ring are five very clear unusually large peck marks in a linear arrangement, each approximately circular; the longest being approx. 5mm diameter, perhaps suggesting deliberate distressing to ring..’
This model was created from 2 stereo pairs captured by Richard Stroud (CSI Team) in July 2011. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
