Danny, to me that looks similar to a prehistoric cist, but I could be wrong. Or is it a holy well, doesn't really look like it though. Interesting find even so. Thanks. Ray

Hi Danny & Teddy,
Looks to me like the stones have been positioned to enclose a small issue/spring for use by livestock, otherwise one would just get a sprawling section of boggy ground. The spring I take it has long since dried up.

Paulus, Mikki, Bob the Great, and my good self, found a cist of exactly the same proportions on the Stanbury, end of Ilkley Moor, last year. Should be on here somewhere. There are other tomb remains and a fair old collection of superb cup and ring carvings near that one, including the Moonstone. It is the case that not all ancient burials occurred on hillsides. There are barrows and mounds on riverbanks, but some of them are definitely Saxon/Norse. Could be worth having an intense root around the area.

Looks intriguing... Doesn't look prehistoric though (to me at least) - but it'd be nice to be wrong! Looks like some sorta water-feature to me. Is that a small footpath by its side?
