One of several carved rocks found within the scheduled area of Allan Tofts near Goathland, North Yorkshire. The Historic England scheduling states:
“Within the cairnfield and associated with it are an irregular aggregate field system, four round burial cairns and four cup or cup and ring marked stones. Also included are a linear boundary, thought to be of medieval date, and numerous tracks and hollow ways dating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. All these additional archaeological features are included in the scheduling.” https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021301
