Prehistoric carving found in the Green Crag Slack area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
Boughey & Vickerman reference this caving IAG319 in their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, and describe:
‘Low, narrow, flat, smooth grit rock. Groups of three cups, and five cups and depression.’
In 2012, the CSI: Rombalds Moor project noted roughly the same motifs when referencing ‘Green Crag Slack 04’ on ERA.
However, this model appears to show the group of 3 cups are connected and as many as 8 cups are placed over bedding layers at the southern end.
