This cup marked stone is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their page for Buck Woods Carving (01), Thackley, Bradford, West Yorkshire.
TNA describes how to reach this stone, provides photographs and gives a brief 'archaeology and history'. They tell us there are at least five cup-marked stones very close to each other in the woods here, and "this is the best of the bunch. Also found in conjunction with what seems to be an Iron Age walled enclosure 20 yards away, there are at least 8 cup-marks on top of this rock."
This panel matches the location and description of Dr Keith Boughey's Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding (Supplement, p30). The rock is described as being a medium to large striated gritstone rock with clear bedding planes, measuring 2m x 1.8m x 1.6m. It has 8, possibly 9, cups and a groove which runs away from one of the cups. All the cups are on the rounded triangular apex of the boulder.
