Three carved fragments of gritstone outcrop in enclosed pasture on Snowden Carr, 500 metres south west of Washburn Farm, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site comprising three separate outcrops bearing cup-and-ring markings and associated carved motifs. The carvings, executed into the natural gritstone surface, represent a form of prehistoric ritual or territorial marking characteristic of upland areas in northern Britain during these periods. The fragmented nature of the monuments and their exposure on open moorland suggest considerable antiquity, though precise dating remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. The site contributes to the archaeological record of Pennine rock art and demonstrates the Bronze Age and earlier populations' engagement with the landscape through symbolic carving of prominent natural features.
