Faweather Grange 02a (May 2013)

3D Model

Possible prehistoric carving found at the base of a drystone wall on private land near Faweather Grange, N of Baildon, West Yorkshire.

This stone was found during CSI: Rombalds Moor project surveys and is referenced ‘Faweather Grange 02a’ on ERA, and described:

‘…a small, rounded boulder 0.77m x 0.60m x 0.12m thick, in the base of a field wall. There is a single cup. A natural crack or perhaps weathered channels look almost like grooves or a ring.’

There is doubt about the carved nature of the ‘cup-like’ depression. However, it’s positioned 15 metres from a definite carved rock and the ‘cup’ looks central within a slight raised area, giving the appearance of a natural ring…in some light.
