Cup and ring marked rock 16m north west of wall junction, 225m south of Far High Westcliff is a prehistoric rock carving located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface decorated with cup marks and ring patterns, archaeological evidence of ritual or symbolic activity during the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric period. Cup and ring markings represent one of the most distinctive forms of rock art found across Britain and Ireland, though their precise ritual or functional significance remains debated among scholars. This particular example contributes to the regional distribution of such carvings across the Pennine landscape and represents the surviving material culture of prehistoric communities in northern England.
