Cup marked rock 100m north of West Loups's, Cotherstone Moor is a Bronze Age ritual or symbolic stone located on Cotherstone Moor in County Durham. The monument is distinguished by a series of cup-shaped depressions pecked into its surface, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern Britain. Such cup-marked stones are believed to have held ceremonial or territorial significance for the prehistoric communities that created them, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The rock represents an important surviving example of Neolithic or Bronze Age material culture from the moorland landscape of the northern Pennines.
