The Doubler Stones, looking to the south. |
These two naturally shaped rocks
stand on the western edge of Rombalds Moor above Silsden. Their strange shape
is due to the fact that the top part of the rock stack is a hard gritstone whilst
the lower part is an easily eroded sandstone. The top surface of both rocks have cups,
the eastern one has two cups while the western stone has several cups along with
grooves and deep basins. PRAWR = Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding (Boughey and Vickerman 2003) See also Ilkley Moor & Rombalds Moor Introduction Carvings Date: Bronze Age |
