Cup-marked rock west of confluence of Lodepit Beck and Glovershaw Beck is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of simple carved depression that dates to the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric periods. Cup mark rock art of this type is distributed across upland regions of northern Britain and represents one of the earliest forms of monumental artistic expression, though the precise dating and function of individual examples remain subjects of scholarly debate. The site's location in the Pennine landscape reflects the pattern of prehistoric activity in upland areas, where such rock carvings are found in association with Bronze Age ritual and territorial practices.
