Bedrock with cup, ring and possible groove marks 45m south west of Eastwoods Farm, Dacre Banks is a Bronze Age rock art site located in North Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, ring marks, and possibly groove marks, which are characteristic examples of prehistoric rock art typical of the Bronze Age period in northern Britain. Such rock art assemblages are believed to have held ritual or symbolic significance within Bronze Age communities, though their precise function remains a matter of scholarly interpretation. The survival of these carved marks on the bedrock provides important evidence for prehistoric activity and artistic practice in the Nidderdale area.
