Cup-marked rock close to road south east of a small car park south east of Bracken Hall Farm is a Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial monument located in Yorkshire. The rock surface bears a series of cup marks, shallow circular depressions pecked into the stone, which represent a widespread form of prehistoric rock art found across Britain and dating to the Bronze Age period. Such cup-marked rocks have long been subject to scholarly interpretation, with their precise function remaining uncertain, though they are commonly associated with ritual practice, territorial marking, or shamanic activity. The monument's location in the upland landscape of Yorkshire is typical of Bronze Age cup-marked sites, which frequently occur on exposed rock outcrops in moorland and valley settings.
