Prehistoric carved rock found in the Low Plain area on Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire. Referenced ‘IAG 174’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, this small exposure of rock is described as: ‘Small area of exposed bedrock. One cup.’ CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the stone ‘Low Plain 24’ on ERA in 2012, describing:
‘… The upper surface is irregular and bears a prominent bedding plane (previously identified as possible groove). A single cup 5cm diameter is present on the southern part of the exposure.’
It isn’t clear from the visible surface, whether the stone is bedrock or a boulder. Carved bedrock is quite rare in this region.
