Each of the sites we currently know about in this area of moorland has its own unique site page; this site page is a summary for all the different sites around Lanshaw.

Lanshaw Lad 01
Lanshaw Lad 01 submitted by Rich32 : Rock referenced in Boughey & Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding' as IAG275 and recorded as 'Lanshaw Lad 01' by the CSI:Rombalds Moor Project on ERA. Both records question the artificiality of the small indentations found on this stone.

Lanshaw Delves 06
Lanshaw Delves 06 submitted by Rich32 : First noticed by John Webb and subsequently archived on the West Yorkshire HER in 2009. This stone was recorded by CSI:Rombalds Moor Project and added to ERA as 'Lanshaw Delves 06'. Recorded as having a single cup on NE vertical face. Other similar depressions may hint at a natural origin. Image captured 5 March 2013 Image Credit: Peter Butler / Carved Stone Investigations: ... (Vote or comment on this photo)

Lanshaw Delves 04
Lanshaw Delves 04 submitted by Rich32 : Screenshot of a photogrammetric model of 'Lanshaw Delves 05' on ERA, showing additional features including shallower depressions and possible morphology utilisation. All could be entirely natural though. The larger depression was initially identified during CSI: Rombalds Moor Project recording. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Lanshaw Delves 05
Lanshaw Delves 05 submitted by Rich32 : Stone found during CSI:Rombalds Moor Project recording and added to ERA as 'Lanshaw Delves 05'. This stone was initially recorded has having a single possible cup. However, recent processing of CSI photogrammetric imagery, suggests other smaller depressions are present and hint at the possibility of rings, or utilisation of the stones morphology to create rings. These features aren't definit...

Lanshaw Delves 04
Lanshaw Delves 04 submitted by Rich32 : Carving referenced 'Lanshaw Delves 04' by the CSI:Rombalds Moor Project / ERA and IAG309 in Boughey & Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. The stone has one large cup and four smaller cups placed in sub circular depression. Cairn material can be seen around the base of the rock. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw Delves 03
Lanshaw Delves 03 submitted by Rich32 : First noted by John Webb in 2009 and added to the West Yorkshire HER. Recorded by the CSI: Rombalds Moor Project / ERA as 'Lanshaw Delves 03'. Subsequently added to Keith Boughey's IAG archive as '308a'. This rectangular stone has what appear to be two definite cups, one less certain cup and a possible groove leading to a natural bowl.

Lanshaw Delves 02 submitted by Rich32 : First noted by John Webb and added to the HER. Recorded by the CSI: Rombalds Moor / ERA as 'Lanshaw Delves 02'.

Lanshaw 11
Lanshaw 11 submitted by Rich32 : Recorded as 'Lanshaw 11' on ERA and IAG346 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. A low lying rock with a busy design of cups, three of which are recorded as having rings. However, photogrammetry suggests at least two more may have eroded rings. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw 10
Lanshaw 10 submitted by Rich32 : Prehistoric carved rock, referenced 'Lanshaw 10' on ERA and IAG345 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This triangular rock has nine worn cups. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw 09
Lanshaw 09 submitted by Rich32 : Carving recorded as 'Lanshaw 09' on ERA and after some research, the CSI:Rombalds Moor team cross referenced this rock back to 172 in the 1986 IAG publication 'The Carved Rocks on Rombalds Moor'. In the 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding', this rock had been misidentified. This flat stone has at least one cup, possibly a couple more and a number of linear grooves. Pho...

Lanshaw 08
Lanshaw 08 submitted by Rich32 : Recorded as 'Lanshaw 08' on ERA and tentatively cross referenced to IAG343 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This domed rock has four unusual wide grooves running down its northerly sloping face. I seem to recall at least one cup looking a possibility too. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw 07
Lanshaw 07 submitted by Rich32 : Carving referenced 'Lanshaw 06' on ERA and IAG341 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This stone has a large natural bowl, a single cup and possible cup with a short groove. Just to the SW is a short stretch of walling / clearance and small stones can also be seen around the base of this stone. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw 06
Lanshaw 06 submitted by Rich32 : Recorded as 'Lanshaw 06' on ERA and tentatively cross referenced to IAG340 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. A rock with cup-like depressions, possibly natural. Found within cairn material. From the info available, this was thought to be the most likely candidate previously recorded as IAG340. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw 05
Lanshaw 05 submitted by Rich32 : Recorded as 'Lanshaw 05' on ERA and IAG339 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This rock is recorded as having a cup and ring with a groove and a further groove. However, the ring appears to have been created by placement, utilising natural elements of the rock and carving to complete the ring. In the background is 'Lanshaw 07 / IAG341...

Lanshaw 04
Lanshaw 04 submitted by Rich32 : Carving recorded as 'Lanshaw 04' on ERA and IAG337 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This small stone forms part of cairn material. Motifs comprise of several cups and a couple of grooves. Image captured 1/9/2009.

Lanshaw 02
Lanshaw 02 submitted by Rich32 : Recorded as 'Lanshaw 02' on ERA and IAG335 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication, 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. This small stone has two cup-like depressions, possibly carved. There are cairns, stretches of walling (seen in the background here) and other carved rocks in the immediate vicinity, which adds weight to their artificiality. Image captured 1 September 2009. ...

Lanshaw 01
Lanshaw 01 submitted by Rich32 : The Lanshaw Stone, recorded as Lanshaw 01 on ERA (due to naming conventions) and IAG334 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock art of the West Riding'. Still from a photogrammetric model using the 'radiance scaling' filter. Both the CSI/ERA and IAG records mention 2 incomplete rings, but the 3D models shows 2 complete rings and the possibility of another 3 cups which ei...

Lanshaw 01 submitted by Rich32 : The Lanshaw Stone, recorded as Lanshaw 01 on ERA (due to naming conventions) and IAG334 in Boughey and Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock art of the West Riding'. A lovely carved rock in an area buzzing with prehistoric activity including cairns, denuded walling and 11 other examples of rock art. Image captured 1/9/2009

Lanshaw Lass
Lanshaw Lass submitted by andy_h : Although this fallen boundary stone is thought to be Saxon in origin, I've included it here for the reason that it occupies the centre point of the long edge of the isosceles triangle formed by the Backstone Circle, Twelve Apostles and the Grubstones and maybe a replacement for an earlier standing stone in this spot. There are also hints of being a sunrise marker. SE1320 4545
