The cup marked rock and round cairn south east of Dobrudden caravan park is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a round cairn, a characteristic form of barrow used for mortuary purposes during the Bronze Age period, accompanied by a cup marked rock bearing a series of shallow, roughly circular depressions created by percussion.
