Thimble Stones 01 submitted by markj99 : Rock basins on top of the Thimble Stones (Vote or comment on this photo)
This rock art panel in West Yorkshire is recorded as having large natural basins and a number of smaller cup-like depressions, all of which are likely to be natural. This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-2499 Thimble Stones 01, which includes a brief description and a photograph.

Note: When is rock art not rock art. When it's (probably) natural!

The Thimble Stones are a group of unusually eroded rocks near the summit of Morton Moor. They form a natural altar with some probably natural rock basins on top of the stones. There is also a mysterious triangle carving on a rock in the group.
