Cup and groove marked rock, 310m north east of the shooting shelter in Middleton Moor Enclosure is a Bronze Age rock art site located on moorland in Yorkshire. The rock surface bears a series of cupule markings and linear groove features characteristic of prehistoric ritual or territorial rock art traditions common across northern Britain during the Bronze Age. Such cup and groove marked rocks are thought to date from the second millennium BC, though precise chronological attribution remains challenging. The monument's position within the Middleton Moor landscape suggests its makers valued this elevated moorland location, and the rock likely held ceremonial, commemorative or socially significant meaning within Bronze Age communities of the region.
