The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this carved rock - see their entry for Smiley Stone Carving, Middleton Moor, North Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding this rock, together with a drawing of the motifs, a description and a photograph.
The stone is also scheduled as part of Historic England List ID 1014165 which says: "The monument includes five carved gritstone rocks which lie close together on the ridge between Dryas Dike and Delves Beck, Middleton Moor, 840m ESE of Blackhill House. They are all small, and some are partly obscured by heather. The westernmost rock (accurate NGR SE1092351269) measures 0.65m by 0.6m by 0.2m. It has ten cup marks with a long curving groove spiralling between the cups carved on one face. The southernmost rock (accurate NGR SE1093151264) is 1m by 0.4m by 0.25m. Six cup marks and a meandering groove are carved on the top surface while two further cups are located on the east face of the rock."
