Cup and ring marked rock at Faweather Farm, High Eldwick is a prehistoric rock art monument located in West Yorkshire. The stone bears a series of cup marks and ring carvings, characteristic of Bronze Age rock art tradition, though such motifs may have earlier Neolithic origins. These geometric petroglyphs were created by pecking or grinding into the rock surface and remain among the notable examples of this form of artistic expression found on the Pennine uplands. The monument's precise chronological placement and ritual or symbolic purpose remain subjects of archaeological study, though cup and ring marked stones are generally understood to represent a significant phase of prehistoric artistic and possibly ceremonial activity in northern Britain.
