Land Traces

This diminutive Bronze Age stone circle on Ilkley Moor (bar tat), Yorkshire, a much desecrated monument which once had about 16 - 20 stones in it (what was it called before?) and possibly a burial cist in its centre, has seen ridiculous levels of jiggery pokery over the centuries. By 1971 most of the stones had fallen and somebody decided to re-erect them, probably into an Alpine rockery, but it’s difficult to know if the subsequent re-re-erection is correct or not! Anyway it’s all suitably wild and mysterious and, according to my map, we should have been tripping over wonderful Neolithic rock art every 20 feet or so. That’s obviously much better hidden.
