Cup and ring marked rock 80m south of West Loups is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on Cotherstone Moor in County Durham. The stone surface bears cupule and concentric ring markings, a form of portable or fixed rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern Britain, typically dating between approximately 3000 and 1500 BC. Such markings remain of uncertain interpretive significance, though they are recognised as expressions of ritual, territorial, or symbolic importance to prehistoric communities. The monument's survival on the open moorland landscape provides evidence of Bronze Age artistic practice and settlement patterns in the Pennine region.
