Cup-marked bedrock near Old Glen House is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises natural bedrock bearing cupules, which are small circular depressions pecked or ground into the stone surface, a form of rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain. Such cup markings are found across northern England and Scotland and remain difficult to date precisely, though they are generally attributed to the later prehistoric period. The site represents evidence of early human activity and spiritual or practical engagement with the landscape, though the specific purpose and cultural context of these markings continue to be subjects of archaeological interpretation.
