Prehistoric carving found a marked in the Eaves Crag area of Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
First published in the early 20th C, this carving was subsequently referenced IAG194 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’ and described as:
‘Smooth grit rock level with ground. Two cups, one with incomplete ring’.
Tool marks can still be seen within motifs, suggesting the stone has been covered for long periods. The larger motif may have been placed to take advantage of the rocks morphology.
CSI: Rombalds Moor project referenced the stone ‘Eaves Crag 01’ on ERA.
