The Twelve Apostles on Burley Moor: Consists of the remains of a stone circle with a diameter of about 15 metres. The circle originally had between 16 and 20 stones, but it is now reduced to 12 stones. The stones are made from the local millstone grit. All of the stones were fallen by the 1950s and were lying loose upon the ground.
According to an article in the Ilkley Gazette, the Twelve Apostle stones were re-erected in October 1970, by 3 men - Peter Brigg & brothers T & O Gent, using a length of rope & a stick to create a circle of stones. The site suffers severe visitor erosion, as it was formerly hidden beneath heather, but is now in an area of bare trampled soil. It is regarded as one of the most damaged prehistoric sites in Yorkshire.
