Cup marked rock 100m north of West Loups is an ancient rock art site located on Cotherstone Moor in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a stone bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving characteristic of the Bronze Age and earlier periods in northern Britain. Cup marks are small, roughly circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, often found singly or in clusters on exposed stone outcrops across the upland regions of England and Scotland. Such markings remain enigmatic in purpose, though they are thought to have held ritual or territorial significance for the prehistoric communities who created them.
