Probable prehistoric carved rock found close to prehistoric remains in the Lanshaw area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
This conspicuous stone has a large natural bowl and is reference ‘IAG341’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where it is described as:
‘Medium-sized, rough grit rock. Two cups, a third doubtful, and a basin’
CSI: Rombalds Moor recorded ‘Lanshaw 07’, but question whether the markings are artificial, particularly a cup with a quartz inclusion. This model appears to show the remnants of a ring or use of natural topography.
