I don’t know why I expected this circle to be bigger, it seems dwarfed by the width of the plateau of land it occupies. One of a series of sites in the area I guess it’s just one part of a much bigger picture.

A bit far up into the dales for me usually (on public transport it’s a bit of an epic journey!) but well worth a visit, this dainty little circle reminded me of Moel Ty Uchaf in construction but obviously, a very different location a few feet from the (very swollen) Wharfe river rather than high up in the hills. I wonder if this cairn would have been a small island when the river overflowed.

Druid’s Altar, up a very long and inhospitable road but worth the journey – beautiful views all around and no people for miles

T’other one. With gate post holes, but very far up the stone, indicating it was upside down at some point, or very far dug down into the ground.

showing the stones proximity to the road. Good for less active antiquarians?

one of the pin/dew/wart wells on the top of the crag. Claimed never to run dry even in good weather....having spent a few months going up to the crag on a very regular basis we found this isnt quite the case!

TF and EL, Thomas Fawkes and Edwin Lascelles initials carved into their respective sides of the slit across the crag. The initials are found in three seperate places along the split.
