Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)
This previously unrecorded cup and ring stone features on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Forty Acres 03, Stelling, Marske, North Yorkshire,which gives directions for finding this stone together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history.
TNA adds "Found a few hundred yards northwest of the once giant cairn of Cock Howe, this design is characterized mainly by the two large deep channels deliberately cut into the stone that run from the middle of the upper surface down to ground level. One of them emerges from a single cup-marking, at an angle; whilst the other comes from the edge of a natural crack in the rock. The channels are wide and flattened. Other faint lines can be discerned too, which may have originally been carved.
Other prehistoric rock art in the area is detailed in Brown, Paul & Barbara, Prehistoric Rock Art in the Northern Dales, Tempus: Stroud 2008.
