Cup marked rock outcrop at the base of a wall 120m east of East Loups is a prehistoric rock art site located on Cotherstone Moor in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a natural rock outcrop bearing cup marks, a form of non-figurative rock art typical of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in northern Britain. Cup marks are small, circular depressions pecked into stone surfaces, and their precise chronology remains uncertain, though examples across the British Isles are generally attributed to the later Neolithic or Bronze Age. The outcrop's position at the base of a field wall indicates its survival within the agricultural landscape of the moorland, where such prehistoric rock art sites are relatively common features of the upland archaeology of northern England.
