Beckensall's British Prehistoric Rock Art has a photo on p55 of an earthfast boulder at Eel hillBarningham moor, it has cup and rings and a extra big cup.

A quick look at

didn't show owt.

When does the diameter of the hole stop it being a cup and make it something else?

lamps to carve motifs at night?

Dunno. A bullaun can be anything over around 10cm across x 5cm deep, although that would be a very small one. If one that size was with rock art then I'd class it as a big cup, if it was on its own then I'd tend to say it was a bullaun.

As far as I know, no bullauns that appear with rock art.
