The carved rock near the north east corner of the plantation on Weston Moor is a prehistoric carved stone located in the moorland landscape of Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup and ring markings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age in Britain, though such carvings may span a broader period from the Neolithic onwards. These motifs—typically circular depressions or rings incised into the stone surface—represent one of the important categories of portable and in situ rock art surviving from prehistoric Britain. The site's location on open moorland, away from settlement, reflects the ritual or territorial significance such carved stones held within prehistoric communities.
