Please help an ignorant southerner. I've been reading about Bleaklow, which is between Manchester and Sheffield. It's an area full of naturally peculiar shaped rocks
http://www.cressbrook.co.uk/features/bleaklow.htm
and is also known (in current times also) for its strange lights (which the poor mountain rescue people have to investigate in vain).

So it's obviously quite a wild and strange place. But there aren't any stone circles or rock art or anything else marked on the OS map or on the tma map browser.

Does anyone know why this might be? Is it TOO bleak? It's rather boggy and there aren't any paths (apart from the Pennine way?) Or is it not worth competing with the artistic rock formations of nature?

I was just wondering.
