Cup and ring marked rock below Addingham Crag is a prehistoric rock art site located in West Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface decorated with cup marks and ring marks, typical of Bronze Age or Neolithic rock art traditions found across northern Britain. Such motifs were pecked or ground into the stone surface and their precise ceremonial or symbolic purpose remains debated among archaeologists, though they may have served ritual, territorial, or astronomical functions. The site contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and artistic expression in the Pennine uplands during the second and third millennia before the Common Era.
