Cup marked stone 565m NNE of the triangulation point on Feldom Rigg is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. The stone bears cup marks, a form of rock art produced by percussion, which are characteristic of Bronze Age and possibly earlier Neolithic ritual or symbolic activity across northern Britain. Such cup marked stones remain difficult to date precisely, though their concentration on upland areas suggests their creation during the later prehistoric period. The monument's location on Feldom Rigg places it within a landscape that would have held significance for Bronze Age communities, though the specific purpose and context of these marked stones continue to be subjects of archaeological interpretation.
