Cup marked rock in forestry furrow on Rivock is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving thought to date to the Bronze Age, approximately 2000–500 BCE. Cup marked rocks of this type are found across Britain and are among the earliest examples of ritual or ceremonial stone carving, though their precise purpose remains debated amongst scholars. The Rivock example has been preserved within a forestry furrow on the moorland landscape, which has affected its condition and visibility over time.
