Cup marked rock 180m north of the covered reservoir at Baildon is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site located on moorland in West Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving created by pecking or grinding depressions into the stone surface. Such cup-marked rocks are found across northern Britain and are generally attributed to the later Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains difficult. The site represents evidence of ritual, territorial, or symbolic activity undertaken by prehistoric communities in the Pennine region.
