Cup marked rock 1m from wall on unforested plateau at Rivock is a prehistoric carved stone bearing cupmarks, located on moorland in Yorkshire. The rock displays a series of cup-shaped depressions pecked into its surface, a form of rock art typically associated with Bronze Age or earlier activity in northern Britain, though precise dating remains uncertain. The monument's position on an open plateau and its proximity to field boundaries suggest it may have held ritual, territorial, or practical significance within its prehistoric landscape. Such cup-marked stones are relatively common across upland Britain and represent some of the earliest surviving artistic expressions in the archaeological record of this region.
