North face of the stone from above

Top of the stone

The Haystack looking southwest

Eroded notch in one of the stones.

Bands of quartz(?) in a stone on the south of the circle.

The entrance stones at the southeast.

Stones to the north. The stone on the left is splintered in two.

A different view of the stones. Are the sloping tops pointing upwards to the sky, or down to the ground?

Looking east towards the Lacra circles.

Looking out to sea. I’m not sure if the fallen stone in the foreground is the dumped outlier.

Looking southwest

Looking west towards Heckbarley

Cairn at NY48282186

Part of the double ring.

The west face of the stone. Popular with birds.

The 2 stones that could form an alignment. Moor Divock SE is in the centre and beyond the stones.

The white patch on the stone is where it has been scoured.

View of the stone looking northwest.

Gatepost SE09496, 46971
Just next to the track about 50 metres to the west of the Swastika Stone is a pair of fallen gateposts. One of them has a pair of cup and ring carvings. I don’t know whether the post was quarried out of a larger expanse of rock in recent times or if it was originally a carved standing stone....

Cups on The Sepulchre SE09070, 47006. The large one may be natural.

The Sepulchre SE09070, 47006
A large freestanding chunk of rock that has some interesting geological folds in it as well as some cups, one with a ring, on it top surface.

Cups on The Anvil at SE09285, 47001

The Anvil
SE09285, 47001
There are some worn cups on top of this flat stone which is perched on top of a pile of rocks

View looking east. The carving is on the other side of the rock.

Can be seen to resemble a skull

View of the rock looking to the east. This part of the moor had been recently burned and looked like an alien landscape.

Detail of carving on a rock at SE17422, 50767

A carved stone at SE17422, 50767, close to the road and carpark

Neb Stone – looking east.

The view looking north across Ilkley and Wharfdale.

The north face of the Neb Stone – there are a few possible cups.

Is this circle real or a recently constructed fake ?

Real or fake?

One theory suggests that cups and ring marks may represent maps of various areas – I don’t know then how the Idol Stone would fit into the plan!

SE10770, 46499
This is a small stone on the opposite side of Keighley Road from the Weary Hill Stone and is quite difficult to spot in the undergrowth. It has around ten cups, three of which have rings, two others have possible rings.
