Cup marked rock 42m west of gate near Dob Park Bridge, adjacent to track on south bank of River Washburn, is a Prehistoric rock outcrop bearing cup marks, a form of non-representational rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain. The rock surface displays cupules—small, deliberately pecked depressions—which represent one of the earliest types of monumental expression in the archaeological record of northern England. Such cup-marked stones are thought to have held ritual or territorial significance for prehistoric communities, though their precise function remains debated among scholars. The monument's location on the Washburn valley floor, preserved in situ as a natural rock surface, provides important evidence of Bronze Age or earlier cultural practices in the Yorkshire landscape.
