Lanshaw 04 (Feb 2013)

Description

Prehistoric carved rock found in cairn material in the Lanshaw area of Rombalds Moor, West Yorkshire. One of several carvings found in an area rich in prehistoric activity, referenced ‘IAG337’ in Boughey & Vickerman’s 2003 publication ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’. In 2013, the CSI: Rombalds Moor project referenced the stone ‘Lanshaw 04’ on ERA. Both archives may have slightly overestimated the number of cups and included an unlikely groove. At least one of the cups may have been placed in order to utilise the rocks natural topography and give the impression of a ring.

The imagery forms part of the HLF funded CSI: Rombalds Moor / Watershed Landscape Project archive.
