Haystack (July 2013)

3D Model

This large, conspicuous boulder is known as the ‘Haystack’ and can be found in the Pancake Ridge area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire, England.

Measuring 5.30m x 3.5m x 1.70m, both upper surfaces are adorned with prehistoric carvings. Referenced ‘IAG 302’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where it’s described as:

‘…About seventy cups, ten with single rings, and multiple interlinking grooves, many other grooves possibly result of weathering along bedding planes.’ CSI: Rombalds Moor Project referenced the carving ‘Pancake Ridge 05’ on ERA, describing similar motifs. This model shows additional motifs.
