One of two prehistoric carved rocks found close to each other in the Rushy Beck area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
In their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, Boughey & Vickerman reference the carving IAG375 and describe: ‘Medium-sized, low, smooth grit rock. Five cups, two with rings, and four grooves.’
A subsequent recording by the CSI: Rombalds Moor project named the stone ‘Rushy Beck 02’ on ERA. However, they left turf coverage in place and only recorded a single cup on the exposed area.
