This rock carvings and cairn complex is a Bronze Age monument comprising seven carved rocks and four small cairns located on the moorland south of Eller Edge Nook near Skyreholme in Yorkshire. The carved rocks bear cup-and-ring markings typical of later prehistoric rock art, a form of symbolic expression particularly common across northern Britain during the Bronze Age. The associated cairns suggest the site held ceremonial or burial significance within the broader prehistoric landscape. The precise dating and interpretation of such rock art remains subject to scholarly debate, though the assemblage is consistent with Bronze Age ritual or commemorative practice in upland moorland contexts.
