| Description | Rough grit rock standing up in heather and crowberry, near two scattered cairns, with one clear cup and two other possible cups and one basin.
Description from the English Heritage Scheduled Monument notification for SAM no 25303 (25/08/1995);
The monument includes two carved gritstone rocks situated at the southern edge of a group of rocks at the top of a ridge at Lanshaw, overlooking Woofa Bank. The northernmost of this pair of rocks has a conspicuous, large, natural basin. The carving on this rock consists of two cup marks. The southernmost of the pair, lying 2m south west of the other, barely protrudes above ground level. It is carved with a cup and ring and has an enhanced natural groove. The monument also includes a short stretch of rubble bank immediately to the south of the carved rocks, running approximately east to west along the top of the ridge for a distance of c.25m. The form of this bank indicates its prehistoric date; it is interpreted as some form of land division, possibly being a field boundary. |
