It's the 12th dolmen in Port de la Selve, one of the very large number of megalithic sites in our area. In fact, it's a "paradolmen" - in the 18th or 19th Centuries, a peasant built a hut around it made with local stones as a dry stone wall. 📷 PereToroCervera More: http://www.megalithi...

Bingley Moor (104): Recent damage to this rock art panel. You can't see the Teaspoon, the light was dreadful but it's there, and I think the scouring has damaged a cup mark. It wasn't pleasant to find, writes Seán. Rock Art in West Yorkshire.

unfortunately in the process the cups are now level with the ground and not on top as they should be, plus one cup has been destroyed, either during the works or when they were repositioning it. A stone with four cup marks on Stanbury Hill, Bingley Moor.

Whoever has been up to check the damage from the estate attempted to reposition the completely upended 4 cupper, and has packed some heather into the top and filled the hole in, in a crude attempt to make it look like it had never been moved,
