Rock Art, Cairn Fields and Ancient Settlements in Yorkshire (North)
Askwith Moor is one of a number of moors in the area that have a number of rock-art stones, cairn fields and ancient settlements. There are about 30 carvings on this moor alone including the 'Manstone' and 'Womanstone'.
For rock art, Boughey & Vickerman have listed stones numbering from 508 to 535 inclusive; because of the number of photographs and descriptions, each rock art stone has been given its own individual site page (see nearby sites below). The settlements and cairn fields also have their own pages.
A few rock art stones have been found since the Boughey & Vickerman catalogue was made, and these have been recorded as Askwith Moor U/R 1 to U/R 4 inclusive.
