Cup marked stone 18m south of Stone Man Plantation is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual monument located in Yorkshire, England. The stone is distinguished by a series of cup marks, which are shallow, roughly circular depressions pecked into its surface, a characteristic feature of prehistoric rock art in northern Britain dating primarily to the later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age periods. Such cup-marked stones remain poorly understood in terms of their precise function, though they are believed to have held ceremonial or territorial significance within prehistoric communities. The stone's survival and formal designation as a listed monument reflect its importance as evidence of early artistic and cultural expression in the Yorkshire landscape.
