Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art

The Hangingstones outcrop. The area under the over-hang is known as the Fairie's Parlour, or sometimes as the Fairie's Kirk. Legend has it that the Anglo-Saxon's attempted to build a church nearby, but each morning returned to find the stones moved. They eventually built the church in Ilkley.
The name Fairie's Kirk could be a folk memory of the original uses of the rock and it's carvings.
