Carved rock on private farmland near Steadhall Farm near Burley Woodhead, West Yorkshire.
In Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, this stone is referenced IAG 389, and described as: ‘Large rock embedded in low turf, with slightly rounded top surface. Seven to ten worn cups.’
The CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recorded the carving as ‘Stead 01’ on ERA describing: ‘…Motifs consist of five single cups and three dumb-bells, with the latter running in a straight line from E to W. Towards the NE side there is an irregular depression with two deep (5cm) possible solution holes, or voids, left by inclusions; a further small (2cm) cup-like depression on E edge.’
This decimated model was created from 5 stereo pairs captured by Lynette Willoughby (CSI Team) in November 2011. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
