Cup marked rock 200m west of Cow and Calf Hotel is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface decorated with cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving in which small hemispherical depressions were pecked into the stone surface. Such cup-marked rocks are found across northern Britain and are typically dated to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, though their precise chronology remains uncertain. The site represents evidence of ritual or symbolic activity during prehistory and contributes to our understanding of early artistic expression and land use in the upland areas of northern England.
