This group of seven carved rocks and four small cairns south of Eller Edge Nook in Skyreholme is a Bronze Age ceremonial or ritual monument complex, likely dating to the second millennium before the present. The carved rocks bear cup-and-ring marks and related motifs characteristic of later prehistoric rock art in northern Britain, whilst the associated cairns suggest use for burial or ritual purposes. The monuments occupy an upland location typical of Bronze Age ritual sites in the Pennine region of Yorkshire. The precise function of the carved rocks remains uncertain, though such assemblages often indicate sites of communal importance during the prehistoric period.
