Cup and groove-marked rock on the east edge of Glovershaw quarry is a prehistoric rock art panel located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing multiple cupmarks and grooves, characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions found across northern Britain. Such rock art, typically created by percussion, represents ritualistic or territorial marking practices and dates to the Bronze Age period, though the precise dating of individual panels remains difficult without archaeological investigation. The rock's location within the quarry environment has affected its preservation, and as a designated ancient monument it is protected under heritage legislation.
