Cup marked rock 230m south of and above White Wells is a Bronze Age rock art panel located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a natural rock surface bearing a series of cup marks—small, regularly spaced circular depressions created by repeated percussion—which represent one of the characteristic forms of prehistoric rock art found across northern Britain. Cup marked rocks of this type are typically assigned to the Bronze Age or earlier periods, though precise dating remains difficult without archaeological excavation. The site contributes to the broader distribution of similar rock art panels in the Pennine region, reflecting Bronze Age ritual, territorial, or symbolic practices.
