Prehistoric carving found on a knoll, approx. 230 metres SSE of the Cow and Calf on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
This fairly upright rock is referenced IAG314 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where it’s described as:
‘Large, flat, pear-shaped, rough grit rock. Three cups and a basin (name carving recent).’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor project subsequently referenced the stone ‘Cow and Calf 06’, noting the same motifs. However, they suggest the larger bowl could be natural formed.
Is there a ring around the larger cup??

This decimated model shows the carved area and was created from 2 stereo pairs captured by Richard Stroud (CSI team) in July 2013. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive deposited with ERA/ADS.
