Carved rock on bank at side of track opposite Garth House, 60m south west of Snaygill Farm is a prehistoric rock carving located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of cup-and-ring marks pecked into the natural rock surface, a form of rock art typically associated with the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods in Britain. Such carvings, concentrated in upland regions of northern England and Scotland, remain enigmatic in purpose, though interpretations range from ritual significance to territorial markers or shamanistic practices. The carving's location on a hillside bank adjacent to an ancient trackway suggests it may have held importance within the wider prehistoric landscape of the region.
