The Anvil Rock looking to the northwest |
This is a
medium sized triangular flat slab that perches on top of a pile of rocks
with its tip pointing to the northeast. It stands to the west of the Swastika Stone along
the same track that follows the northern edge of Rombalds Moor above
the River Wharf. Its worn surface has several cups although it is difficult to say which are man made and which are natural. As with the other carved stones in this area it has fine views across the Wharf Valley.
