Cup and ring marked rock on Cotherstone Moor 520m north west of East Loups is a prehistoric rock outcrop bearing carved cup and ring markings. The rock surface displays the characteristic pecked depressions and concentric rings typical of Bronze Age or earlier rock art, though precise dating remains uncertain. Such markings are found across upland regions of northern England and represent one of the most enigmatic forms of prehistoric artistic expression, their ritual, territorial, or practical purpose still debated among archaeologists. The monument's survival on the exposed moorland preserves evidence of human activity and aesthetic practice during the prehistoric period.
