Cup marked rock 14m from the wall on the unforested plateau at Rivock is a Bronze Age rock art monument located on the North York Moors in Yorkshire, England. The rock surface bears cup marks, a characteristic form of prehistoric rock art consisting of small, roughly circular depressions pecked into the stone, which are typical of Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking practices in upland Britain. The monument's precise location on the open plateau, removed from later settlement patterns, suggests its continued visibility and importance within the prehistoric landscape. Such cup-marked rocks are thought to date to the second millennium BCE and remain significant for understanding Bronze Age use of Yorkshire's moorlands.
