History & significance

Cup and ring marked stone 520m north east of the triangulation point on Feldom Rigg is a Bronze Age rock art site located on the moorland of Yorkshire. The stone bears the characteristic cup and ring carvings typical of prehistoric rock art in northern Britain, a tradition practised during the Bronze Age and possibly earlier in the Neolithic period. Cup and ring markings, comprising circular depressions with concentric rings pecked into the stone surface, remain enigmatic in their precise purpose, though they may have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance for the communities that created them. The site's moorland location is typical of Bronze Age rock art in the Pennines and surrounding upland regions, where such carvings are found across the landscape as enduring evidence of ancient artistic and ceremonial practices.
