This possible prehistoric carving can be found in the Weary Hill area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.
It is referenced IAG 243 by Boughey & Vickerman in their 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’, where it’s described as:
‘Fairly large, medium grit rock with ridge to N and somewhat hollowed to S. About eight possible cups, but all could be effects of weathering or pebble holes.’
In 2013, the CSI: Rombalds Moor project recorded the same stone as ‘Weary Hill 02’ on ERA, noting:
‘There are nine possible cups: seven, including one larger one - 12 cm diameter, are on the E half of the rock, with two in the SW corner. The two larger hollows could be man-made, but the remainder are shallow and could be the natural result of weathering.’
This decimated model was created from 11 stereo pairs captured by Dave Spencer (CSI Team) in September 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
