A rock with a cup and a groove is a prehistoric rock art monument located in the south west corner of Scale Knoll Allotment near Barningham Moor in North Yorkshire. The rock bears cupmarks and a linear groove, forms of non-figurative rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric periods in northern Britain. Such cup-and-groove marked rocks remain archaeologically significant as evidence of ritual or territorial marking practices among prehistoric communities, though the precise function and dating of individual examples often remain uncertain. The monument's survival in its moorland setting preserves an important record of prehistoric artistic expression in the region.
