Prehistoric carved rock found in the Todmor Stones area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire,
In their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, Boughey & Vickerman reference this stone IAG103 describing:
‘Small, very worn, smooth grit rock. Seventeen cups, some oval and some in grooves.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor project record this carving ‘Todmor Stones 01’ on ERA adding:
‘The carvings located on the E and S sides consist of 17 cups within and outside the curvilinear groove which is crossed on the W side by a groove running to the W edge. 2 pairs of cups could be dumb-bells. 3 cups are located in or on the S edge of the groove. 2 cups are on the SW corner.’
