A bit weathered, but this is a cup marked stone. I’ve tried to give a sense of the landscape it is in – whether the landscape was quite as open when the cups were carved I couldn’t tell you.
The marks are reckoned to be around 4000-5000 years old. There is a high occurrence of them in North and West Yorkshire. I came upon this one when out looking for photographic subjects – first I’ve seen. It’s pretty much worn and I’ve had to use a hand held flash to the left to try to give some contrast across the impressions made by our ancestors.
