Probable prehistoric carving found in the Shipley Glen area, near Baildon, West Yorkshire.
This small rock sits amongst a cluster of other carvings and is referenced IAG128 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’. The CSI: Rombalds Moor project subsequently referenced the stone ‘Glovershaw 05’ in 2013, describing:
‘…a single cup carved to NW corner of a very coarse-grained sandstone squarish boulder with a band of densely packed quartz, feldspar and other pebbles and angular fragments of rock. The cup has penetrated a lower bedding layer giving rise to a sharp-sided circular depression in the base of the cup.’
