Ringstone Edge Moor

daveyravey Feb 2, 2004

A small, intriguingly named moor to the west of Halifax with some interesting features (a robbed tumulus, a stone circle, the site of burial mounds and an Iron age embankment). You can walk around them in a few hours and see lots of wildlife.

Ringstone Edge Moor

Nor can I omit to mention, as one more example of stone circles in the parish of Halifax, a ring of stones, which is not altogather destroyed, in the township of Bankisland. The stones of this circle are not now erect, but lie in a confused heap, like the ruins of a building, and it is probable that many of the largest have been taken away. It gives the name of Ringstone Edge to the adjacent moor.
