Carved rock in West Pasture 385m south west of The Rigg is a prehistoric carved stone of uncertain date, located in the moorland landscape of Yorkshire. The monument consists of a rock surface bearing carved marks or motifs, characteristic of Bronze Age rock art found across northern England, though the precise chronology and interpretation of the carvings remain subjects of archaeological study. Such carved rocks, commonly known as cup-and-ring marks or similar rock art forms, represent evidence of ritual or symbolic activity by prehistoric communities. The site's moorland setting is typical of locations where such carvings have been preserved and recorded in the historic landscape of Yorkshire.
