Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for the cup and ring stone - see their entry for Low Snaygill Stone, Skipton, North Yorkshire. TNA give directions for finding the stone, together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history. Hedges describes the stone as a "“Large fairly smooth grit rock sloping down to stream at E and into ground and grass at W. Eleven cups, circle of nine very small cups at one end, groove from depression, one other groove and possible cup."

This rock is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 46255, which says the stone was only found in 1968, and "(is a ) large grit rock with eleven cups, circle of nine very small cups and grooves. Situated on grassy bank above Suay Gill.

This stone is also scheduled - see Historic England List ID 1014980, which describes 'Carved rock on bank at side of track opposite Garth House, 60m south west of Snaygill Farm', adding: "The monument includes a carved gritstone rock, 1.2m by 1.6m by 0.5m. It is situated at Snaygill, at the side of a track, in a grassy bank, opposite Garth House. It is 4.7m away from Garth House, and 1.2m along the housewall if measured from the south east corner of the house. An accurate National Grid Reference is SD 99399 49729. This is not the rock's original position, but it is not thought to have been moved far. The carving consists of around eleven cups, a circle of nine very small cups at the north end of the rock, and a groove running approximately north-south. Another groove on the rock is probably natural."
