Dene Hole 02 (Nov 2011)

3D Model

Scheduled prehistoric carving found on private farmland NW of East Morton, Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.

First officially recorded by Sidney Jackson in the 1950s, this stone was referenced IAG92 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’ and described as:

‘Small, smooth, worn grit rock. Brass stud and Ordnance Survey benchmark. Five or more cups; in very good light, suggestions of single rings, grooves and feather-like markings.’

This model shows the ‘suggestions’ almost certainly exist.

CSI: Rombalds Moor project added the record ‘Dene Hole 02’ to ERA.
