Cup and ring marked rock 40m south east of Hillcourt, Rawdon is a prehistoric rock art panel dating to the Bronze Age or earlier. The stone bears a series of cupmarks and associated ring markings carved into its natural surface, a form of rock art widely distributed across northern Britain and typically assigned to the later Neolithic or Bronze Age periods. Such motifs remain enigmatic in purpose, though they may have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance for prehistoric communities. The rock survives as a testament to the artistic and cultural practices of ancient peoples in the Yorkshire landscape.
