Cup and groove marked rock on flat ground south of Foldshaw Ridge, 510m SSW of the shooting shelter, Middleton Moor is a Bronze Age rock art site located on moorland in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks and groove marks, forms of rock art typically associated with prehistoric ritual or ceremonial activity during the Bronze Age period. Such marked rocks are characteristic of upland areas across Britain and represent enduring evidence of early prehistoric peoples' engagement with the landscape. The site's location on open moorland, away from settlement structures, suggests its significance may have been connected to practices of a ceremonial or symbolic nature during the second millennium before the present era.
