Stone carving

Rombald's Moor is a large area of moorland roughly bordered by Ilkley in the north, Silsden in the west, Keighley in the south and Menston in the east. Within this expanse of gritstone, sandstone and shale are several smaller rather vaguely defined areas, the famous Ilkley Moor being but one part. It is here that you can find evidence of human occupation through the Neolithic, Bronze Age and possibly into the pre-Roman Iron Age.

The moor is most well know for its rock carvings. These are earthfast boulders, large flat slabs or prominent rocks that have cups, rings and grooves cut into them.
