Cup marked rock between Doubler Stones and Gawk Stones is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of Bronze Age or Neolithic rock carving found across Britain and northern Europe. Cup marks are small, roughly circular depressions pecked or ground into the stone surface, often occurring in groups or patterns whose exact ritual or practical purpose remains uncertain, though they may relate to ceremonial or territorial marking. This particular example sits within a landscape rich in prehistoric monuments, positioned between named stone features that suggest it formed part of a broader ritual or territorial complex in the Yorkshire uplands.
