Prehistoric carving in the Weary Hill area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
In 2003, the carving was referenced IAG 244 by Boughey & Vickerman in their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’ and described: ‘Medium-sized low rock. Ten cups, four with one ring, one being broken at tab-like ends, doubtful grooves.’
A decade later, the CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded it as ‘Weary Hill 03’ on ERA in 2013 noting the same motifs as Boughey & Vickerman.
Sadly, despite being a scheduled monument, the stone was illegally excavated by an amateur in 2017/18. As a result, both the upper surface and sides are now fully exposed.

This decimated model was created from 6 stereo pairs captured by Peter Butler (CSI Team) in September 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
