This cup and ring marked stone is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 51655, the summary of which reads: "A carved gritstone rock partly covered in heather. It is situated on Otley Chevin, north of the path from Danefield House to Beacon House, west of a path junction. The carving consists of three incomplete concentric rings, with a groove to the centre. The groove has a cup at its outer end, and there is one other cup, and suggestions of other rings elsewhere on the rock. Scheduled."
For the scheduling information see Historic England List ID 1015619, which says: "The carving on this rock survives well and forms an important part of the prehistoric landscape of the Aire valley. The rock is one of several outliers from the main concentration of carved rocks on Rombalds Moor ... The monument includes a carved gritstone rock, partly covered in heather. The visible part measures 1.3m by 0.8m by 0.5m. It is situated on Otley Chevin, north of the path from Danefield House to Beacon House, west of a path junction. It is 16m from a wall corner, and 1m west of the line of the wall if the latter is projected on the moor. An accurate National Grid Reference is SE 20771 44182. The carving consists of three incomplete concentric rings, with a groove to the centre. The groove has a cup at its outer end, and there is one other cup, and suggestions of other rings elsewhere on the rock."
