Cup marked rock 19m above forestry track in Rivock conifer plantation is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire. The site consists of a natural rock surface bearing cupule markings, a characteristic form of Bronze Age and later rock art found across northern Britain. Cup and ring marks, of which this example is representative, were pecked into rock surfaces and remain among the most enigmatic expressions of prehistoric artistic practice, though their precise ritual or functional significance continues to be debated by scholars. The monument's survival within the managed conifer plantation environment reflects the long-term preservation of such rock art sites across the upland regions of Yorkshire.
