Cup and ring marked rock in wall at High Snaygill 80m east of High Laithe is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial monument comprising a single stone bearing cupule and ring markings. The rock is incorporated into a field wall in the upland landscape of Yorkshire, preserving evidence of prehistoric rock art tradition that flourished across northern Britain during the later prehistoric period. Cup and ring markings, typically formed by pecking or grinding into stone surfaces, remain amongst the most enigmatic expressions of Neolithic and Bronze Age cultural practice, with their precise function and meaning still debated by scholars. The site demonstrates the long continuity of land use in this region and the value of such carved stones as records of early human activity in the Yorkshire landscape.
