Cup marked rock 640m north east of Whin Hill Farm, Askwith Moor is a Bronze Age rock art site located on the moorland of Wharfedale in West Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern Britain. Cup marks are small, roughly circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, often occurring in groups or clusters, and their precise ritual or practical function remains uncertain though they are thought to relate to ceremonial or territorial practices. The site's location on open moorland, typical of Bronze Age rock art distributions in the Pennines, indicates the cultural significance of this landscape to prehistoric communities in this region.
