Cup marked rock in forestry furrow on Rivock is a prehistoric rock art monument located in the upland landscape of Yorkshire. The stone bears cup marks—small, roughly circular depressions pecked into its surface—which represent a form of rock art created during the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. Such cup-marked stones are found widely across northern Britain and are thought to have held ritual or territorial significance for prehistoric communities, though their precise function remains uncertain. The monument's survival in a forestry furrow indicates how agricultural and woodland management practices have affected the preservation of archaeological features in the upland environment.
