Log Text: a lovely little kerb cairn/ring. a delightful walk along the Upper Wharfe, with its water-carved limestone. About 70 metres upstream from the ring is Yockenthwaite 'cave' a small fissure, from which some water issues, and also the eerie sound of an underground waterfall deep in the hillside. I wonder if this was there in the Bronze Age and had something to do with the siting of this ring. and what did they think the sound was? The river here is a disappearing/appearing one, as it discharges into several holes into underground aquifers, leaving downstream a dry bed, until a new water source enters it.
