Cup marked rock on the summit of the hill, 420m west of Howgill Grange 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 small, circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, which are characteristic of ritual or ceremonial sites from this period. Cup marked rocks are distributed across northern Britain and remain difficult to date precisely, though they are generally assigned to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The monument's location on a hill summit suggests it may have held significance as a marker or ritual focal point within the prehistoric landscape.
