Cup and ring marked stone on Gayles Plantation is a prehistoric rock art monument located on Feldom Rigg in Yorkshire. The stone bears cup and ring carvings, a form of pecked rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age, though such motifs may have earlier origins in the Neolithic period. Cup and ring marks, consisting of circular depressions surrounded by concentric rings, are found across northern Britain and remain enigmatic in purpose, though they may have held ritual, territorial, or astronomical significance. The stone's survival in situ on the moorland landscape preserves evidence of Bronze Age artistic and possibly ceremonial activity in the region.
