This carved rock in the wall at the north edge of Otley Road, northwest of the Fleece Inn, is an ancient monument of uncertain date and original context. The carved stone now forms part of a later boundary wall, though its precise period of origin and the nature of its carved decoration remain subjects for further investigation. Its incorporation into a wall structure suggests a secondary use, a common practice whereby worked stones of earlier periods were repurposed into medieval and post-medieval field boundaries and building fabric. The monument's survival as a recognisable carved element within the Yorkshire landscape preserves evidence of earlier human activity at this location, though detailed understanding of its significance would require specialist archaeological examination.
