Cup marked rock on slope, 480m ENE of the shooting shelter in Middleton Moor Enclosure is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on moorland in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing a series of cup marks, the characteristic pecked depressions that represent one of the earliest forms of rock art in Britain. Such cup marked rocks are typically associated with ritual or ceremonial activity during the Bronze Age, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The survival of the rock art on this exposed moorland location provides evidence of prehistoric use of the landscape and demonstrates the distribution of cup mark sites across northern England.
