4. B1. Landscape Situation Information gathered in this section will assist researchers to look at topographical similarities & differences between sites at both regional and national level This section is a simplified version of the one used previously on NADRAP which had 15 choices. We’d welcome feedback
7. B1. Landscape Situation Terrain: Sloping Hangingstones Swastika stone Pipers Crag Stead Panorama Rocks area Pancake Rock Planets Rock Rombalds Moor(ish) Cross section S Green Crag Slack S Woofa Bank
19. B1. Landscape Situation Ilkley Keighley / Riddlesden Rombalds Moor Cross section Bottom Valley Floor Very few panels will fall into this category
20. B1. Landscape Situation Ilkley Keighley / Riddlesden Rombalds Moor Cross section Middle Panels in elevated positions, but not the highest part of the landscape Majority of panels on Rombalds will fall into the category Sample record Backstone Beck 06
21. B1. Landscape Situation Rombalds Moor Cross section Top Panels on, or very near the highest part of the landscape Only a small number of carvings will fall into this category <10 Ilkley Keighley / Riddlesden
22. B1. Orientation and Slope of Panel This section records the panels orientation, plus the ° slope/inclination and direction of the carved surface. Information gathered will again inform researchers of characteristics at site, regional and national level
35. B1. Proximity to water Tick the appropriate boxes for the water sources Enter distance in metres

37. B1. Underlying Geology Why is understanding geology important? An understanding of basic geology is essential for Rock Art Recording. An appreciation of the variety of natural geological forms allows identification of rock types, helps carved motifs to be distinguished from natural features, and provides a basis for assessing both the current condition and identification of potential threats to the rock surface (Guidance Sheet No.6) What is meant by Underlying Geology? The layer of rock nearest the surface
38. B1. Underlying Geology There are three main classes of rock; Igneous - a rock or mineral that solidified from molten or partly molten material e.g. Granite, Andesite, Basalt Sedimentary - Rock formed from accumulations of sediment, which may consist of rock fragments of various sizes, remains or products of animals or plants, products of chemical action or of evaporation, or mixtures of these e.g Sandstone, limestone, coal Metamorphic - Rock derived from pre-existing rocks by marked changes in temperature, pressure, shearing stress, and chemical environment, generally at depth in the Earth's crust e.g. marble, schist
39. B1. Underlying Geology In this area, the underlying geology is Sedimentary sandstone from the Millstone Grit Series which covers over 30 different types including Doubler Stones Sandstone, Longridge Sandstone, Addingham Edge Grit, East Carlton Grit. Complete fields as appropriate.

41. B1. Current Land Use Current land use will aid the management and conservation of the panels i.e. a panel on M.O.D land may be in greater danger than one on moorland
42. B1. Current Land use Heathland/moorland – unenclosed land with rough grass, heather and/or bracken cover Undisturbed grassland – enclosed grassland not actively managed to improve the quality of the pasture Improved pasture – enclosed land improved through mechanisms which might include stone clearance, drainage etc Wood/forest – a plantation, or a natural/managed woodland or forest. Bog/marsh – a boggy or marshy area Arable – panel within or at the edge of an arable field or ploughed land. Urban – built environment including parkland, gardens, thoroughfare waste ground Military – land owned the MoD., e.g. for training. Conservation – area set aside for nature conservation, e.g. Woodland Trust or Nature Reserve (SSSI?) Other – please describe any other land uses not covered above .

44. B2. Prehistoric Features within 250m In this section record all the prehistoric features 250m around the panel. Some of the archaeological remains may be contemporary with the rock art and this data will allow further analysis and study of the panels context Don’t worry if you don’t know what these features are and what to look for, this will come in time with a mixture of training and experience You may find it easier to complete this section after the Location Sketch has been drawn (B4)

47. B3. Location Notes N.B. For Notes fields on the Recording Form we’re not expecting academic paper quality. The information should contain useful information which may assist researchers and heritage managers in the future The location notes are intended to give a general overview of the panels location, direction, landscape context and association with other features. Although this section appears before the Location Sketch (B4.) in the form, you may find it easier to produce the Notes after the sketch has been drawn
48.
49. B3. Location Notes Further training will be forthcoming and time to practice during the Trial Phase !!
50. B4. Location Sketch A plan sketch detailing the area around the particular panel or area, showing the location and distances to other features The plan should be kept simple as there’s no requirement for a detailed archaeological survey using drawing conventions.
