Cup marked rock in wall east of Scarnber Wood, 500m north east of Bark Laithe, Winterburn is a Bronze Age rock art monument consisting of a stone bearing cup-shaped depressions that form part of a field boundary wall. The rock displays the characteristic pecked or ground cup marks typical of prehistoric ritual or territorial marking traditions found across upland Britain. Such cup-marked stones are generally assigned to the Bronze Age, though their precise chronological placement and interpretive function remain matters of scholarly debate. The monument's incorporation into the later field wall system indicates its significance to the local landscape and its preservation through successive periods of land use in this region of Yorkshire.
