This is a single standing stone of
possible Bronze
Age date that measures some six feet high and is highly weathered around its
top. This weathering tells us that it has stood somewhere (not necessarily here),
for a long time, and is not just an animal scratching post erected by a farmer
in recent years. This whole area is rich in rock
carvings, especially Ilkley Moor,
and it is possible that this stone formed a marker, perhaps on a route to the
moor, or even as a territorial boundary stone. |
