Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)
This rock art panel, previously on privately owned land, but now accessible thanks to 'Right To Roam' designations, is now one of two rock art panels found on a stretch of moorlands in the upper part of Nidderdale known as Fountains Earth. A possible three other panels in the vicinity have yet to be confirmed.
Now recorded in Boughey & Vickerman's "Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding Supplement (2018)", pages 207 and 208, IAG623a is "on the north eastern edge of Arna Knab Wood …. where the moorland terrace plateau drops off dramatically into the steeper slope of the dale below, with spectacular views of the valley to the north west". The rock measures approximately 1m x 0.75m x 0.3m at its highest point, and carries 4 clear cups in two groups of two. One of the cups on its eastern edge may carry a faint pecked partial ring. B&V also describe: "curiously, there is also an S-shaped groove, which may in fact be natural, that snakes around the eastern side of the more northern cup of the eastern-edge group and down towards the western side of the more easterly cup of the northern-edge group". B&V also describe another possible small cup near the southern edge of the eastern edge of the rock.
The Supplement includes a photograph of the panel in its landscape setting, plus close ups of the two groups of cups.
