JOLLEY KEYWORDS: Groove – Gritstone – Pennine – Anthropogenic marking – Petroglyph STRANGE GROOVES IN THE PENNINES, UNITED KINGDOM David Shepherd and Frank Jolley Abstract. This paper presents an account of grooved markings found on sandstone surfaces in the Pennine upland of Yorkshire, United Kingdom, of other single examples in Scotland and the U.S.A., and of numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure an archaeological or geological explanation for them. Of particular interest are the cases where cupules and grooves appear in juxtaposition. There is a concluding discussion of some aspects which may inform a practical aetiology.

  • 26 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau
    A Hartwith Moor looking north east. AREA 26 Approved Feb 2004 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau Description This is a pocket of flat to gently undulating grassland plateau south of Brimham Rocks covering 2km 2. The area is dominated by the regular, organised pattern of parliamentary field enclosures with dry stone wall field boundaries. Prior to parliamentary enclosure the area would have been open moor. The linear minor roads through the area conform to field pattern. The simpl­ icity and consistency of the muted green square fields is harmonious and the lack of large settlement makes the landscape seem remote. The area is large scale and open with vast views due to sparse coverage of trees and woodland. Brimham Rocks SSSI abuts the northern edge of the Character Area and its contrasting landform and rock outcrops create a unique and unusual backdrop to the fields. With the exception of telegraph poles that cross the area it is attractive. Brimham Rocks, and the strong field pattern, are visual elements of interest in this Character Area which lies within the Nidderale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
