Cup marked rock on north side of barn, 100m north west of the Grey Stones Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art monument located in Yorkshire. The stone bears cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving consisting of hemispherical depressions pecked into the rock surface, which were created by repeated striking with stone tools. Such cup marked rocks are distributed across northern Britain and are generally dated to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, though precise chronology remains difficult to establish. The monument's location adjacent to a farm building has ensured its preservation, though the exact distribution and number of cup marks on this particular example would require direct archaeological examination to document fully.
