This rare find in Calderdale is featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Warley Edge, Halifax, West Yorkshire. TNA tell us that "it’s only one of a very small number of full cup-and-ring designs — though its exact whereabouts remains elusive. From Heginbottom’s (1979) OS-reference, it’s close to a pretty built-up area, so may be destroyed. He described it as a “large block with cup and ring markings, built into a dry stone wall,” 900ft above sea level."
August 2020. The stone's location has now been confirmed as Warley Edge Lane, but the authenticity of the markings on it has been questioned.
