Prehistoric carving found in the Shipley Glen area, near Baildon, West Yorkshire.
First published by Paley Baildon in 1913, this stone is referenced IAG126 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where they describe:
‘Pudding shaped, small, smooth grit rock. Six cups, grooves connecting and part enclosing four of them. Another groove to bottom of rock.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor project referenced the stone ‘Glovershaw 04’ and provide a detailed description on ERA.
Have the carver(s) used / enhanced the stones shape and created an oculus around the two central cups?
