Woofa Bank is an area to the northeast of Ilkley Moor and to the southeast of Green Crag Slack that has the remains of a prehistoric enclosure system on its gently north facing slope as well about a dozen cup marked and carved rocks. The enclosure is roughly oval and measures about 80 metres by 50 metres with the low walls consisting of earth and rubble as well as some larger stones which can be best seen to the north and west - although the structure is thought to date to the Bronze Age it is possible that this area was in use from as early as the Mesolithic era.
There are several carved stones within the enclosure and a couple outside. The most interesting is the one shown above that has cups and a series of grooves that appear to form a random pattern but it could be that they are meant to represent a map of the area. It may be that the grooves show field boundaries or stock enclosures and the cup marks could be interpreted as springs - part of the carvings on the stone are now overgrown with grass.
