Cup and ring marked rock in wall at High Snaygill 80m east of High Laithe is a prehistoric rock art panel incorporated into a field wall in the Upper Pennines of Yorkshire. The monument bears cup and ring carvings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age and possibly earlier periods in northern Britain, though the precise dating of such carvings remains uncertain. The rock has been deliberately built into the fabric of the boundary wall, a common fate for such prehistoric marked stones in upland areas where they have been reused in later agricultural enclosure. As one of several cup and ring marked rocks recorded in this region, it represents the archaeological record of early artistic expression in the Yorkshire uplands and provides evidence of prehistoric settlement and ceremonial activity in this landscape.
