Carved rock 160m north west of Abbey Farm is a prehistoric carved stone located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a rock surface bearing carved cup and ring marks, a form of rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain. Such markings, typically comprising circular depressions surrounded by concentric rings and associated grooves, represent some of the earliest artistic expression in the British landscape. The precise dating and ritual or domestic function of these carvings remain subjects of archaeological study, though they are understood to reflect the cultural practices of prehistoric communities in northern Britain.
