Has anyone had any success finding these. I found the 12 apostles no problems and a couple of enclosures , but nothing of the ellusive grubstones I've read several passing refernces to in various sources.

I've not ventured over Ilkley Moon (yet!) but http://www.magma.ca/~alnal/stones/grub0.htm shows what you're looking for - grid ref SE136447.

I've done a fair few of the sites round Ilkley Moor, but
never been over to the Grubstones...

there's a picture of them here:

The site doesn't look too hot really! It's probably
better to head in the other direction, where all the rock
art action is! :-)

I'm with Ironman on this one - I usually go for the rock art as well, but the weather on Sunday was so nice I went for a wander in the other direction, so -
