What a corker of a stone and as the previous post states fairly easy to locate.
Take the millenium way off straight lane towards Addingham Crag, go to the foot of the crag and its in the third field on your left towards the bottom of the field very easy to make out as its almost square and stands out from the others.

After walking from Ilkley past our old Swastika and the Piper Crag Stone - amongst other carvings if you wander about a bit - you'll eventually reach this old beauty on the top of a rather bulbous boulder down the slope amidst a scattering of rocks off the footpath. It can't be missed really (if you have trouble, check the grid ref, which is SE 07872 47265). Modern texts talk of it having 49 cups on top, nine of 'em with rings. When our old artist J. Thornton Dale came and drew this stone around 1878, one or two more rings were visible it seems. In Boughey & Vickerman's (2003) survey, it is carving no.210.
