Backstone Beck 01
Backstone Beck 01 submitted by Rich32 : note for admins – please make this the main photo This carved stone has a cup with a partial ring and another cup. It can be a challenge to find, even with an accurate grid reference. Photo taken in August 2009. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Yorkshire (West)

This rock art panel is recorded as having 1 cup with an almost complete ring around it and possible satellite cup, plus 2 other cups, one of which is very worn and may be natural. For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-2542 Backstone Beck 01, which gives a description, and includes photographs, a plan of the stone and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.

This panel is also recorded in Boughey & Vickerman's "Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding Supplement (2018), pages 139 and 140. The Supplement includes a photograph of the rock and its motifs, plus a drawing of the panel. B&V adds: "(this panel is) on the gentle south slope of Cranshaw Thorn Hill, west of Backstone Beck, overlooking a broad, shallow grass-covered gully …. the rock is approximately 50-60cms in any one direction and carries a clear cup and an almost complete lipped ring with clear signs of pecking, with a possible shallow worn cup apparently in a 'sateliite' position."

This rock is located on Open Access land.
