Cup marked stone 620m south of Jenny's Plantation is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. The stone bears cup markings, a form of prehistoric rock carving consisting of small hemispherical depressions pecked into the rock surface, which represent one of the earliest forms of artistic expression in Britain. Such cup marked stones are typically dated to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains challenging without associated archaeological contexts. The monument survives as evidence of ritual or ceremonial practices among prehistoric communities in the Yorkshire region and contributes to the broader understanding of Neolithic and Bronze Age artistic traditions across northern England.
