The Twelve Apostles is a stone circle near Ilkley and Burley in Wharfedale in West Yorkshire, England [1]. The stone circle is slightly below and to the northeast of an east-west ridge at about 381 metres above sea level [1]. The Twelve Apostles consists of the remains of a stone circle with a diameter of about 15 metres [1]. The circle originally had between 16 and 20 stones, but it is now reduced to 12 stones [1]. The stones are made from the local millstone grit [1]. All of the stones were fallen by the mid-20th-century and were lying loose upon the ground [1]. The circle was inside a bank 1.2 metres wide and 0.6 metres high [1].
