Cup and ring marked rock 42m east of Rivock Edge triangulation pillar is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The rock bears cup and ring markings, a form of rock art widely distributed across northern Britain and typically attributed to the Bronze Age, though the practice may extend into earlier periods. Cup and ring marks consist of circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, often surrounded by concentric rings, and their precise chronological placement and cultural significance remain subjects of archaeological debate. This example contributes to the broader distribution of such rock art across the Pennine region and forms part of the archaeological record of prehistoric ritual or territorial practices in upland Yorkshire.
