Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 1984. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Grassington B submitted by stu on 11th Oct 2003. SE025 667. Grassington B is a lot more disturbed than Grassington A. With the amount of old workings on the moor it's surprising they've survived.

Kilnsey submitted by rich32 on 22nd Jul 2004. Kilnsey Stone Circle, Kilnsey, North Yorks (SD951680)
1st of 2 candidates for Kilnsey stone circle, on co-ords given by Burl. This site is about 45 mins walk from the nearest path, all up hill with a few fences to clear. There appears to be 6 stones in the circle, one in the foreground is just about visible. Behind 4 of the stones were other stones, I couldn’t decide whether they were part of the original stones and had broken or had been placed.
A further site about 40 meters away look...

Ewden Beck submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Close up of some of the stones at Ewden Beck stone circle (aka Broomhead I). GR:SK238966. Ewden Beck is the most northerly of all the known sites in the Peak District to the north-west of Sheffield and west of Stocksbridge and marked on the map as ‘enclosure’. The circle is named after the nearby stream of Ewden Beck and is located on a flat shelf just above the steep valley, in an area surrounded by a bank and ditch of unknown date. As far as the view is concerned, there is very little to...

The Soldiers Trench
Date Added: 28th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1987. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
The Soldiers Trench submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Also known as Brackenhall Green. Situated above Shipley Glen and overlooked by rock art on Baildon Moor to the north and east, this sad little circle lies near the road which destroyed a section of its northern end. It's hard to distinguish amongst the rock scatter and fallen stones, but a couple of (largely reconstructed) double arc settings give it away.

Bradup circle submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Visited here to investigate reports that the circle had been destroyed and yup, it's gone! A sad cluster of rocks heaved out and dumped near the style still bear JCB marks and the field in which the circle stood has been stripped down to the soil and is now grassed over.
This was a listed, protected monument and I'm sure the landowner can be prosecuted if the destruction was carried out without permission.
Local folklore also tells that a number of stones were taken from the circle to bui...
