Cup and ring-marked rock northeast of a wall junction on the southern flank of Rivock is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire. The rock surface displays cup and ring markings, a form of Bronze Age or earlier rock art consisting of cupules (small circular depressions) surrounded by concentric rings pecked into the stone. Such markings are found across northern Britain and represent one of the earliest forms of artistic expression in the archaeological record, though their precise function and meaning remain subject to scholarly debate. The monument's location on the southern flank of Rivock, in association with a wall junction, suggests it has formed part of the local landscape for thousands of years, surviving into the modern period as evidence of prehistoric activity in the region.
