Possible prehistoric cup mark, found in the Catten Stones area of Shipley Glen, Baildon, West Yorkshire.
First noted by Mike Short, this possible prehistoric carving was recorded ‘Catten Stone 01b’ by the CSI: Rombalds Moor project and uploaded to ERA in 2013. The team describe:
‘…Small exposed area of course-grained sandstone bedrock polished smooth by wear, forming part of a larger area of bedrock. Visible area of rock consisting of carving is 1.00m x 0.70m and flat with ground. Carvings consist of a single cup 7cm diameter.’
