Cup and ring marked rock on ridge 520m south of triangulation pillar on Shooting House Hill, Askwith Moor is a Bronze Age rock art panel located in the upland landscape of the Wharfe Valley in North Yorkshire. The rock surface bears a series of cup marks and concentric rings carved into the stone, representing a characteristic form of prehistoric ritual or territorial marking common to northern England during the Bronze Age period. The location of the stone on open moorland, in association with other prehistoric monuments in the wider landscape, suggests its significance within a Bronze Age ritual or settlement complex. The precise function of such rock art remains subject to scholarly interpretation, though the marks are understood as evidence of sustained cultural activity and symbolic expression during this period.
