Snowden Crags is a prehistoric archaeological site on Askwith Moor in North Yorkshire, England. Local antiquarian Eric Cowling recorded a stone circle [1] and a concentration of cairns [2] 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. It was rediscovered in 2010 by amateur archaeologist Paul Bennett, [3] who described the stone circle in more detail and noted the presence of a robber trench of unknown date at its centre. [1]
A neighbouring area of moorland, Snowden Carr, contains a large amount of prehistoric rock carvings that were also recorded by Cowling. [4]
