Cup and ring-marked rock north east of a wall junction on the southern flank of Rivock is a prehistoric rock outcrop bearing Bronze Age cup and ring markings. The rock carries multiple cups with concentric rings, a form of abstract ceremonial or ritual art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in Britain, particularly prevalent between roughly 2000 and 1500 BCE. Located on the southern flank of Rivock in Yorkshire, the monument occupies a prominent upland position typical of sites bearing such markings. The precise purpose of cup and ring art remains debated among scholars, though interpretations range from ritual and astronomical functions to territorial or shamanistic significance.
