Low Plain 02
Low Plain 02 submitted by rich32 : Baildon Moor, West Yorkshire- SE1372340097 Small flat rock about 4 or 5 meters SW of the Dobrudden Stone. Boughey & Vickerman describe it as having 5 cups, 2 with rings & some possible grooves. I could see only 1 cup & ring and the possible grooves. This is ref number 150 in Boughey & Vickermans ‘Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding’. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Yorkshire (West)

Recorded as Boughey & Vickerman 150, this rock is "on Baildon Moor, north of Dobrudden, Low Plain, near No. 147, in the path along the wall."

The stone is a "small, flat, smooth grit rock with five cups, two with rings and grooves, perhaps natural."

This cup and ring stone is also recorded as The Northern Antiquarian's entry for Baildon Moor Carving (150), West Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding this site, together with photographs, an image of Hedges' 1986 sketch and a copy of Jackson's 1956 drawing of the stone.

For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-2481 Low Plain 02, which includes a description, a plan of the stone and its motifs, plus photogrammetry.

This rock art panel is located on Open Access land.
