Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)
This assumed lost cup marked stone is featured on The Northern Antiquarian, who are appealing for information to relocate it - see their entry for Richard Wood South, Thornton Steward, North Yorkshire.
TNA tell us this is: "A prehistoric carving that is missing and possibly destroyed since being rediscovered in 2001 by Barbara Brown (2008) and subsequently described in her book on North Yorkshire petroglyphs. She told it to be in 'Thornton Steward field hedge bottom' and was a simple glyph, being a 'rectangular slab (with) single cup-mark located in hedge bottom part of old walling.' When she revisited the site with her husband in 2006, the old hedge and wall had been removed, with 'new hedging in place.”' The carved stone may be buried within a pile of clearance stones adjacent to the hedgerow, but it has yet to be relocated. If anyone finds it, please let us know! It was one of several cup-marked stones that exist in the wider neighbourhood."
Note: Do you know where this stone might be, or do you have any information that will help to relocate this cup marked stone? If so, please post a comment below.
