Cup marked rock on the summit of the hill, 420m west of Howgill Grange is a prehistoric rock outcrop bearing anthropogenic cup marks located in Yorkshire. The rock surface displays a series of shallow circular depressions characteristic of cup-and-ring marked stones, a form of rock art typically ascribed to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods of northern Britain. Such marked rocks are thought to have held ritual or territorial significance for prehistoric communities, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly debate. The monument's position on a hilltop summit suggests it may have occupied a prominent place within the landscape cognisant to its makers.
