Spent a good half an hour here taking in the peace and quiet lovely sunny day: The-Z-Man: 20/03/2019: as for Moorsman: arranc: 20/03/2018 Such is the price of ‘progress’, as some folk call it. This was indicated by a distinct rise in the ground which, as you walked over and stomped your feet, proved to be a mass of numerous small stones seemingly a few inches under the ground, some of which were poking through the Earth’s surface.

Boughey & Vickerman (2003) made only a brief note of the stone, seeing only the cup-and-half-ring here; but there seems to be a faint cup-marking near the middle of their TV screen, along with faded evidence of an incomplete ring around it. There is a large gate at the bottom of this lane, usually open. Barely 100 yards up when you reach the top, you’ll notice a single large sloping stone barely 50 yards ahead of you in the same field. Ten seconds or so. There’s a large patch of bracken near the top of Snowden Crags in the middle of the prehistoric cemetery. Climb over this, then follow the same fence along (left) and down, and keep following the fence and walling all the way on until you reach the very bottom southwestern edge of Askwith Moor itself. About 50 yards away from the main cairn shown in the photos are a couple of others of the same size and nature. The difference between the two however is Roms Law has been robbed, whilst the Snowden Crags circle hasn’t even been catalogued. This reasonably well-preserved tomb had a very distinct outlying “wall” running around the edges of the stone heap, along the edge of the hillside and around onto the flat moorland. But two of them here are notably different in structure and size (and please forgive my lengthy description of them here). But this time it was different. (if you fancy a look at all these on the moor, gimme a shout & I’ll take you straight to ’em – but you need to make a booking!). Past ventures onto these moors when seeking for cup-and-ring carvings hadn’t highlighted this cluster, so we thought it might be a good idea to check them out! Follow the direction of the waymark parallel to East Beck. — we’ve managed to restrain ourselves. The Wester Cairnfield 1 carving is close by. About 10-20 yards to the right of this, zigzag about in the vegetation until you find the small stone amidst the bracken. We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish. But, once we’d calmed down and walked round and round the site to make sure that something man-made was under our feet, we decided to make our way home (we’d been on the moors all day) and get back up to have a more detailed look at the place in a few days time. Help keep our trails and parks open during COVID-19 by committing to social distancing. Although I presumed that Graeme Chappell and I found this petroglyph when we surveyed the area in the 1990s, I cannot find an early account of it in my files, so must presume that when James Elkington, James Turner and I came across it a few weeks ago, it was the first view of the stone in many a century… It’s another simple carving, only of interest to the mad rock art hunters out there. “What is it?” I asked; expecting just another small tomb or new cup-and-ring stone. Walk Summary: A short evening expedition to Askwith Moor and the modest Snowden Crags either side of the Otley - Blubberhouses road. It’s almost archetypal in design, being a primary cup-and-ring, with what appears to be a faint inner ring etched marginally within the larger notable incomplete circle, just an inch beyond the inner central cup. Blog He was right. From the Askwith Moor Road parking spot, walk up the road for about 500 yards and head to your right (east) onto the moor. Here we found there were many more stones piled up in the centre of the tomb, but again, on its northern edge, was the tallest of the surrounding upright stones, white in colour (with perhaps a very worn cup-marking on top – but this is debatable…), erected here for some obviously important reason which remains, as yet, unknown to us. Another view of Swinsty Reservoir Walk Detail: The three mile circuit of Swinsty Reservoir has become something of a favourite, especially since the birth of my daughter in 2007. “Aww my god….” I said — transfixed at what was in front of me (I’m easily pleased aswell!).
