Possible prehistoric carved rock found on Burley Moor, Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
Originally identified by Paul Bowers, this stone was referenced ‘Burley Moor 05’ by the CSI: Rombalds Moor team and added to ERA in 2013. The team describes:
‘Motifs consist of an ovoid shaped cup-like depression measuring 9cm x 10cm in a fairly central position. It is not entirely clear whether this feature is natural or carved but the stones proximity to other more definite carved rocks and the cups central placement makes it a possibility.’
Keith Boughey hasn’t included this on his regional archive, so presumably he concluded it was natural.
