Cup and ring marked rock east of Eaves Crag, Baildon Moor is a prehistoric rock art site located on the moorland above Saltaire in West Yorkshire. The rock bears cup marks and ring marks, characteristic motifs of Bronze Age rock art found across northern Britain, typically dating to the second millennium before Christ. Such marked rocks remain amongst the most enigmatic monuments of the Bronze Age, their precise purpose and meaning still contested among scholars, though they may have served ritual, territorial, or astronomical functions. The Baildon Moor site contributes to the substantial concentration of cup and ring marked rocks recorded across the Pennine uplands, forming part of the broader cultural landscape of prehistoric Yorkshire.
