This site is fairly easy to find if you follow the course of Backstone Beck after it crosses a track leading southwest from the Cow and Calf, the settlement is on the east of the beck.
It consists of 2 possible hut circles at the south end that have been somewhat restored and part of a curved low rubble wall that has also been restored by the Ilkley Archaeology Group between 1982-87. A suggested date for the earliest use of the site is around 3000BC, with the hut circles dated much later at somewhere between 800 and 500BC
There are also 3 carved rocks within the enclosure but due to the rich growth of heather around the area they can be difficult to find. See Backstone Beck Stones 1 and Second Idol Stone. On the opposite side of the stream are 2 more carved stones - see Backstone Beck Stones 2.
