Farnhill Moor (Kildwick)
Farnhill Moor (Kildwick) submitted by Sunny100 : Cup-Marked Rock on Farnhill Moor with 40 cup-markings (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Yorkshire (North)

The Journal of Antiquities includes an entry for a cluster of cup-marked rocks in this area - see their page for Farnhill Moor Cup-Marked Rocks, Near Skipton, North Yorkshire. The Journal tells us these rocks are hidden in the undergrowth to the south side of the Jubilee Memorial (a white monument with a stone cross).

One of these large gritston rocks has four large cup marks with two smaller above, while the rock below it has forty or so cups.

The JoA gives directions on how to find these panels, although they note "you will have to search around to find these carvings, but it will be worth it in the end!"

Note: With thanks to Sunny100 for finding these panels; more information to follow

Re: Farnhill Moor (Kildwick) by Anonymous on Saturday, 12 December 2020
The Journal of Antiquities website could be a little misleading for those wishing to find the rocks from the main path. The grid reference was accurate, but the directions could send people off in completely the wrong direction!
I quote from the directions "Just downhill from the monument walk east into the often dense undergrowth towards the craggy ridge." From the main path downhill from the monument, one should walk west, not east - the site is due south of the Jubilee Tower. The "what three words" reference is reaction.economics.unicorns .
There is a thin path running from the main path south of the Jubilee Tower, and the rocks are just off this path, overlooking the valley.
