Cup marked stone 525m SSW of Jenny's Plantation is a 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 British Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial practice. Cup marked stones of this type are thought to date to the second millennium BCE and their precise function remains uncertain, though they may have held symbolic or spiritual significance within prehistoric communities. The survival of this example contributes to the archaeological record of Neolithic and Bronze Age activity in the Yorkshire region.
