Easily the most elaborate of the cluster of prehistoric carved rocks found on Stanbury Hill, on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
It’s referenced IAG 102 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where they describe the stone as:
‘Fairly small, low, flat rock. Unusual design round edge of surface of cups, some ringed; short grooves and one cup with groove out and two rings.’
The Stanbury Hill Project (2008 -2011) excavated around the carving in 2010. Although no significant finds were made, the evidence suggested that the stone may have been moved from nearby beck to its current position and carved. It displays at least two phases of carving with superimposition evident.
CSI Rombalds Moor Project recorded the carving as ‘Stanbury Hill 07’ on ERA.
This decimated model was created from 16 stereo pairs captured by Richard Stroud (CSI Team) in July 2011. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
