Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)
Described as a new find in 2010, The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this cup marked stone - see their entry for Riverbank Cup-Marking, Askwith, North Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding this site, together with photographs and a description.
To be found in a bend of the River Wharfe near the stepping stones, TNA adds: "Peering out from the edge of the ground n the company of many other small stones and gravel, which was slowly coming away just yards above the edge of the river, a rounded cup-marked stone with just a single cup-mark stood out like a sore thumb! It was covered in dusty earth and looked a quite decent example; but once we’d cleared the dried earth away and wet the stone, the cup-marking was truly enhanced ... Obviously added as part of the river embankment, the stone would obviously have been taken from a nearby source, but we’re unlikely to ever find out where. It looks typical of cup-marked stones that were added to cairns, but no such site (that we know of) occurred close by."
