Cup and groove marked rock, 700 metres north east of Whin Hill Farm on Askwith Moor, is an ancient monument consisting of a natural rock surface decorated with prehistoric cup and groove markings. The rock bears multiple cup-shaped depressions and linear groove marks that are characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions in northern Britain, typically dating to the second millennium before the common era. Such marked rocks are found scattered across the moorlands of Yorkshire and represent ritual or territorial markers, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The monument is situated within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity and has been recorded as a protected heritage asset.
