This is the most elaborate of the small number of cup-marked rocks located within the F3A Sturdy House Range of MOD’s Feldom Ranges, near Richmond, North Yorkshire.
The stone was first noted by Tim Laurie and is located within a few metres of a track and two streams. Paul and Barbara Brown referenced the carving ‘SR 2a’ in their 2008 publication, ‘Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales’, where they describe: “Sloping slab 13 cups, two with single rings cups some linked by groove 108 x 58 x 56cm.”
Although not visible in this model due to vegetation coverage, the two more cups also appear to have rings, with two forming a possible oculus motif. Tooling marks are also present in the most of the motifs.
The model was created from 54 images captured by Richard Stroud in July 2026.
