Cup and ring marked rock in Wharfemeadows Park, 280m west of Newall Hall, is a prehistoric stone bearing anthropomorphic rock art. The monument consists of a naturally occurring rock surface decorated with cup marks and ring marks, motifs characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions in northern Britain. Such decorated stones, found across Yorkshire and the wider Pennine region, are thought to date to the Bronze Age, though their precise chronology and ceremonial or utilitarian purpose remain subjects of archaeological debate. The survival of these marks provides evidence of artistic and possibly ritual practices among prehistoric communities in the area.
