A suspicious wee standing stone. Could either be the remains of a 17th/18th C boundary stone, or possibly a much older standing stone. Very near the point where many of the paths over this moor meet.

The other side of the re-used cup marked rock, bearing the boundary inscription D for Denton.
A cup and ring stone re-used as a boundary stone. The other side of this stone bears the 18th C carving of a ‘D’ for Denton.
The track leading from Round Hill towards High Badger Gate on the boundary of Middleton and Denton. The standing stone is a mile stone (or stoop) for Ilkley and Ripon.

The high path running along the ridge from Round Hill to Ellacar Pike is an ancient trade route above Middleton and Denton Moors. This is supported by a number of boundary stones bearing 18th C ‘D’ and ‘M’ inscriptions when it was still regarded as a significant landmark. One fallen boundary stone is a reused cup marked rock and there are still a number of old milestones around these paths. Both Middleton and Denton Moors contain a number of cup and ring marked stones.
A number of paths meet at High Badger Gate, which is possibly the site of an old market.
