Cup marked rock 19m above forestry track in Rivock conifer plantation is a Bronze Age rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. The rock bears cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving characteristic of the Bronze Age period, which represent one of the earliest expressions of artistic or ritual activity in the British landscape. Such cup marked stones are distributed across upland regions and are thought to have held ceremonial or territorial significance for Bronze Age communities, though their precise function remains uncertain. The monument's survival within the modern forestry plantation demonstrates the archaeological importance of upland areas in understanding prehistoric settlement and ritual practice.
