Snowden Crags

Snowden Crags is a prehistoric archaeological site on Askwith Moor in North Yorkshire [1]. Local antiquarian Eric Cowling recorded a stone circle and a concentration of cairns at the location in a 1946 survey, but the site remained obscure due to the density of heather covering it for most of the year [1]. It was rediscovered in 2010 by amateur archaeologist Paul Bennett, who described the stone circle in more detail and noted the presence of a robber trench of unknown date at its centre [1].
