Snowden Crags

Snowden Crags is a stone circle on Askwith Moor in North Yorkshire, England [1]. Local antiquarian Eric Cowling first documented the site, which includes a stone circle and concentration of cairns, in his 1946 survey [1]. The monument remained largely hidden beneath dense heather for most of the year, keeping it obscure for decades [1]. Amateur archaeologist Paul Bennett rediscovered the site in 2010 and provided a detailed description of the stone circle, additionally noting a robber trench of unknown date at its centre [1].
