 Weetwood
Moor 6 (ERA 126). There are two sets of carvings on this outcrop that
is now forms part of a small plantation, the carvings nearest the camera
are shown below and those towards the top of the outcrop are shown at
the bottom of the page.
|
 This
motif consists of a central cup with a gutter running from it towards
the edge of the rock plus five concentric rings. To the left in shadow
another cup has a single ring and short gutter again running to the
edge of the rock.
|
 The
central cup in this carving also has a gutter running from it although
it is quite difficult to see in this shot, it runs out from the centre
almost horizontally to the left towards the edge of the rock. Like the
other carving on the outcrop this motif also has five rings making the
pair almost identical (see also Buttony 4
for another similar pairing). About 30cm to the left of the natural
fissure is a small cup and single ring motif with a short gutter running
towards the left.
