Pancake Ridge 02
Date Added: 3rd May 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
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.

Cranshaw Thorn Hill 08
Date Added: 29th Apr 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 14th Sep 2014. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Cranshaw Thorn Hill 08 submitted by Rich32 on 13th Feb 2018. Carving referenced 'Cranshaw Thorn Hill 08' on ERA and 276 in 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding'.
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

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.

Green Crag Slack 05 submitted by Rich32 on 21st Sep 2018. The carving referenced 'Green Crag Slack 05' (blue arrow on image) on ERA and 321 in Boughey & Vickerman's 2003 publication 'Prehistoric Rock Art of the West Riding' is one of 3 carved rocks in close proximity to the Idol Stone.
From this drone shot, taken on 3 February 2017, it's easy to see why some think this cluster of rocks may once have been a cairn.
Green Crag Slack 05 has one possible cup, Green Crag Slack 06 (Yellow arrow) has 2 cups and Green Crag Slack 07 (red arrow) also...
