Cup and ring marked rock 16m north west of wall junction, 225m south of Far High Westcliff is a prehistoric rock art panel located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface decorated with cup and ring markings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age in northern Britain, typically dating to between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE. Cup and ring marked rocks, of which this example is one among many recorded in Yorkshire, represent significant evidence of ritual, territorial, or symbolic practices amongst prehistoric communities. The carved depressions and concentric rings incised into the rock surface remain distinctive features of Bronze Age artistic expression across upland regions of northern England and Scotland.
