Piper's Crag Stone
Date Added: 27th Apr 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Piper's Crag Stone submitted by andy_h on 17th May 2003. A prominent outcrop featuring deep Cup and Ring markings.
The Northern Edge of Ilkley Moor is strewn with marked rocks. Between the Swastika Stone and Piper's Crag Stone are The Anvil and The Sepulchre Stone, who's markings were unfortunately too worn to photograph well. This also applies to the nearby Neb Stone. A large upended rock with 'possible' cup marks, laying on other cup marked stones now built into a wall.

A lovely little carving still displaying tooling marks. Given the level of preservation it can only be assumed this stone went to ground soon after the motifs were added. This stone wasn't recorded before a moorland fire in the late 80s exposed the whole area: http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/era-1618/dissemination/jpg/26217_2593_iagphotoarchive_iag276_(1).jpg

Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
Pancake Ridge 02 submitted by Rich32 on 18th Apr 2019. Rock referenced 297 in Boughey & Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'. Subsequently recorded by the CSI:Rombalds Moor Project and added to ERA as Pancake Ridge 02.
This stone has several cup marks scattered about the upper surface. A couple of them may be best described as 'cup-like depressions', because it's difficult to be 100% about their artificiality.

The Panorama Stone, Ilkley, West Yorkshire submitted by andy_h on 15th May 2003. Now situated in Victorian railings, in a small piece of woodland opposite St Margaret's Church. They were moved from their original location before late Victorian development around the Panorama Rocks. All three stones have Cup and Ring markings, the largest featuring the famous 'Ilkley Ladder' motif. Although it's very hard to make out as the designs are now badly worn.
