Cup and ring marked rock 80m south of West Loups's, Cotherstone Moor is a Bronze Age rock art site located on the moorland of County Durham in northern England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks and ring marks, a distinctive form of portable or fixed rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain. Such petroglyphic carvings remain poorly understood in terms of their precise ritual or functional purpose, though they are understood to reflect the symbolic or ceremonial practices of prehistoric communities. The site's survival on the open moor and its formal archaeological designation reflect its significance as evidence of prehistoric activity and artistic expression in the upland regions of northern Britain.
