Cup marked stone 495m NNE of the triangulation point on Feldom Rigg is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. 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 ceremonial or ritual stone markers dating to the third and second millennia before the common era. Such monuments are distributed across upland regions of northern Britain and represent evidence of ritual practice and territorial marking in prehistory. The stone's location on Feldom Rigg places it within the broader landscape of Bronze Age activity in the Pennine region.
