Why are they the finest?

[edit]

"One of the finest groups of glacial erratic boulders in Britain", but what justification is there for calling them the finest apart from Yorkshire machismo? 92.24.179.14 (talk) 10:06, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Date of deposition

[edit]

' The boulders were probably deposited by melting ice sheets at the end of the last ice age, around 12,000 years ago'

Most sources suggest that ice retreated from the Dales between 17 and 18 thousand years before the present, which is supported by the evidence later mentioned in the article that 'the boulders have been exposed for around 17,900 years' X24k (talk) 18:29, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
