Ground level rock, found at the northern end of Pennythorn Hill on Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire.
Referenced ‘IAG 177’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, it’s described as: ‘Low, level rock partly buried under turf. 2 cups and 1 cup with ring, all very clear’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the same stone ‘Pennythorn Hill 01’ on ERA in 2012, detailing a further cup and other possible tooling marks. The level of preservation showing clear tooling marks within the motifs suggests the stone has spent most of its carved life covered. The CSI team found the stone had become fully exposed between their 2012 and 2013 visits, possibly due to being on a bridleway. Stones have since been placed around the stone to protect it from being trodden on by horses.
