Rock Art in Yorkshire (West)
Now separate from the Panorama Stones in their enclosure opposite St. Margaret's Church in Ikley some 1.3km away from this site, The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) say "As there’s a slight ambiguity in the precise location of this lost carving, we cannot say for certain whether or not this site was included in the sale of Property Lots, numbers 7-34, 'surrounding the far-famed Panorama Rocks,' which may have led to the site’s destruction and subsequent removal of the protected Panorama Stones to Saint Margaret’s Park on the other side of the road from the church, closer to Ilkley centre. The sale of this 'building land' as it was called was advertised in the Leeds Mercury, Saturday September 4, 1880, with a brief description of the respective 'lots' near this and the adjacent carvings. But this Panorama Stone 226 may have been left alone and be buried under the surface… Notes from a few years later told that this carving was still in situ when the companion carvings were moved and imprisoned behind railings across from St. Margaret’s Church in Ilkley. The carving was shown at the grid reference given above on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map of the region before the reservoir was built, correcting the coordinates given in Boughey & Vickerman’s (2003) otherwise fine survey. They described this very ornate carving thus: 'According to Thornton Dale (1880), this was a large rock with 27 cup, eighteen of which had single rings. Some of the cups had connecting grooves and three had the same ladder motif as the Panorama Stone'".
For more information see TNA's entry for Panorama Stone (226), Ilkley Moor, West Yorkshire, which includes an 1879 drawing of the stone and an 1880 sketch, together with details of Paul Bennett's extensive searches for the location of this stone. TNA record this stone as being at SE10154702; the grid reference given above is as given by England's Rock Art.
Also see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-2350 Panorama Rocks 01, which contains basic details, agreeing with those given above. ERA now document this stone as lost, adding that this rock art panel is now in private ownership.
