Copt Howe

Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art

Fieldnotes

I reckon this must be the most perfectly sited work of rock art in England....the view along the valley to the Langdale Pikes is outrageous.

After I thought I saw a map on The Badger Stone on Ilkley Moor I was well primed to see Ironmans map laid out on the boulder at Copt Howe.....it stands up to it well enough.....although the people I went up there with worked out another map using the heavily pecked area as the scree slopes on the Pike o' Sickle.....it has to be said the rest of the map was rather sketchy compared to Ironmans.

A wonderful place............
