Rock art
Burial cairn
On Stanbury Hill, which is part of Bingley Moor, only a few miles from Bingley town
centre, is a concentration of prehistoric rock art or ‘cup-and-ring-marked’ rocks, at least
6 burial cairns and lines of prehistoric walling. Flint tools have also been found on the
hill. All these remains are believed to date from the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, i.e.
about 2500BC. The Stanbury Hill Project has been set up between the Bingley and
District Local History Society and the University of Bradford to investigate these remains
over the next few years, using surveying, sampling and excavation. The project is an
excellent opportunity for members of the public like yourself to get involved, not only in
archaeology, but also in discovering about the prehistoric past in your own area. If you
are interested in finding out more about the project, or would like to help out in some
way, please come along to the public meeting at Eldwick Memorial Hall on Saturday, 20 th
September, at 10.30 a.m. The Hall is fully wheelchair accessible.
