White Wells 06 (Aug 2012)

3D Model

Another of the cluster of prehistoric carvings found in an area 200 metres S of White Wells, on Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire.

This particular carving was referenced IAG 264 in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’ and described as:

‘Small rock of smooth grit. Three clear cups with faint grooves and perhaps traces of rings.’

The CSI: Rombalds Moor project subsequently recorded the carving as ‘White Wells 06’ on ERA, noting just three cups.

On this model, there is some semblance of partial rings and grooves noted by Boughey & Vickerman. However, the rings could be use of light and natural features.

This decimated model was created from a stereo pair captured by Peter Butler in August 2012. The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
