Langbar Rock is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on Langbar Moor in Yorkshire, bearing cup and ring markings typical of prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain. The rock surface displays the characteristic circular depressions with concentric rings that are commonly attributed to the Bronze Age, though the precise chronology of such rock art remains debated among scholars. The site lies approximately 750 metres east-north-east of Wards End and represents an important example of the rock art heritage recorded across the moorlands of upland Yorkshire. Such marked rocks are thought to have held ritual or ceremonial significance within prehistoric communities, though their exact function remains unknown.
