Cup marked stone 490m NNE of the triangulation point on Feldom Rigg is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, a form of pecked decoration characteristic of prehistoric ritual or territorial marking practices. Cup-marked stones of this type are typically dated to the Bronze Age, though some examples may originate in the later Neolithic period, and represent one of the most widespread forms of rock art found across northern Britain. The site's location on the open moorland of Feldom Rigg places it within a landscape that would have held significance for prehistoric communities, though the precise ritual or domestic function of such markings remains uncertain.
