Cup-marked stone 80m east of Robin Hood's Picking Rods is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Derbyshire. The monument consists of a stone surface bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving commonly found across Britain and dating to the Bronze Age period. Cup marks are simple cupule impressions pecked into the stone surface, though their precise ritual or practical purpose remains a subject of scholarly debate. This example contributes to the wider distribution of such rock art found throughout the Pennine uplands and Peak District region, representing an important record of Bronze Age activity and belief systems in the area.
