Cup and ring marked rock, 940m south-west of Wagtail Farm, is a prehistoric rock art panel located in Northumberland. The rock surface bears cup marks and ring marks, characteristic motifs of Bronze Age rock art found widely across northern Britain, typically dating between the third and second millennia before the present. Such carvings represent one of the earliest forms of monumental artistic expression in the British Isles, though their precise purpose and meaning remain subjects of scholarly debate. The site exemplifies the distribution of rock art across the Northumbrian landscape and contributes to understanding prehistoric ceremonial and territorial practices in the region.
