Cup and groove-marked rock on Rivock is a Bronze Age rock surface bearing a series of carved cupmarks and linear grooves. The monument is located west of a deep natural channel on Rivock in Yorkshire and represents an example of prehistoric rock art, a practice common across upland regions of Britain during the Bronze Age period. The precise function of such marked rocks remains uncertain, though they are often interpreted as having ritual, territorial, or commemorative significance within Bronze Age communities. The survival of the carved surface provides evidence of prehistoric activity in the Yorkshire landscape and contributes to understanding patterns of rock art distribution across northern England.
