Carved rock on bank of How Beck is an ancient monument of uncertain date located in the moorland landscape east of the path between West Morton and Riddlesden in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a rock bearing carved marks or designs whose purpose and chronology remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. Such carved rocks are found scattered across the Pennine region and may relate to prehistoric or later activity, though without excavation or definitive dating evidence the precise period of its creation cannot be established with certainty. The rock's position beside How Beck suggests it held some significance within the local landscape, whether ceremonial, territorial, or practical.
