Cup and ring marked rock next to wall NNW of Black Pots is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a natural rock surface decorated with a series of cup marks and ring markings, a form of prehistoric rock art widespread across northern Britain and dating to the Bronze Age period. Such cup and ring motifs remain archaeologically significant as evidence of early artistic expression and ritual practice, though their precise symbolic meaning and function continue to be subjects of scholarly interpretation. The proximity of the rock to a constructed wall suggests the site may have remained a notable landscape feature throughout subsequent periods of settlement and land management.
