A little further down
the hillside and northwest of the Weary Hill
stone are four cup
marked rocks close to the track that leads west from Keighley Road to Silver Well
Cottage. Two of these stones have a single cup each while the third has four cups, some of which could be natural. The fourth stone, just south of the track and shown here is a large rock that protrudes out of the undergrowth and has ten cups along its curved top surface. These cups are all roughly the same size and set closely together with two of them joined by a groove forming a dumbbell figure. As is usual with these rock carvings, what their significance or meaning might be is unknown.
