Dobrudden South 06 submitted by Rich32 on 25th Mar 2018. Carving recorded as Dobrudden South 06 and IAG146b in Keith Boughey's IAG Archive.
Amazingly, despite being first recorded and published in the early 20thC, this rock became forgotten about in official records and wasn't included in the published version of 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'.

The Panorama Stone, Ilkley, West Yorkshire submitted by andy_h on 15th May 2003. Now situated in Victorian railings, in a small piece of woodland opposite St Margaret's Church. They were moved from their original location before late Victorian development around the Panorama Rocks. All three stones have Cup and Ring markings, the largest featuring the famous 'Ilkley Ladder' motif. Although it's very hard to make out as the designs are now badly worn.

Green Gates 02 submitted by andy_h on 7th May 2003. Cup and Ring marked boulder with an unusual 'half-flower' motif on northern face. Situated a few yards NNE of Badger Stone. Carry on down the hillside and you will eventually arrive at the Barmishaw Stone (now very badly faded, but featuring 'Ilkley Ladder' style markings), and further on to Willy Hall's Wood Stone amongst the trees. A line of stones that seem to follow the course of the spring which emerges at Willy Hall's spout.

Pancake Ridge 02 submitted by Rich32 on 18th Apr 2019. Rock referenced 297 in Boughey & Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. Subsequently recorded by the CSI:Rombalds Moor Project and added to ERA as Pancake Ridge 02.
This stone has several cup marks scattered about the upper surface. A couple of them may be best described as 'cup-like depressions', because it's difficult to be 100% about their artificiality.

Cranshaw Thorn Hill 08 submitted by Rich32 on 13th Feb 2018. Carving referenced 'Cranshaw Thorn Hill 08' on ERA and 276 in 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'.
A lovely little carving still displaying tooling marks. Given the level of preservation it can only be assumed this stone went to ground soon after the motifs were added. This stone wasn't recorded before a moorland fire in the late 80s exposed the whole area: http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/era-1618/dissemination/jpg/26217_2593_iagphotoarchive_iag276_(1).jpg
