Cup and ring marked rock 150m west of Low Edge Farm, Bradley Moor is a Bronze Age rock art site located on moorland in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface decorated with cup marks and ring markings, which are amongst the most characteristic forms of prehistoric rock art found across northern Britain and date to the Bronze Age period. Such rock art panels served purposes that remain partially enigmatic, though they are thought to have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance within Bronze Age communities. The site's location on exposed moorland, typical of Yorkshire's upland regions, provides evidence for Bronze Age activity and settlement patterns in this landscape.
