Churn Milk Joan is a cup marked boundary stone located on Crow Hill, Midgley Moor in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural boulder bearing a series of cup marks, shallow circular depressions pecked into its surface, which are characteristic of prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain. The stone has functioned as a boundary marker, a role reflected in its local name, and its position at 580 metres north of Foster Clough Bridge places it within the wider landscape of marked stones and territorial divisions found across the Pennine uplands. Cup marked stones of this type are typically dated to the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric periods, though the precise chronology of individual examples often remains uncertain.
