Cup marked stone on Gayles Plantation, 365m east of Shooters Well is a Bronze Age rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. The stone is distinguished by a series of cup marks, shallow circular depressions that were deliberately pecked or ground into its surface, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age and occasionally earlier periods in Britain. Such cup-marked stones are thought to have held ritual or symbolic significance within prehistoric communities, though their precise function remains uncertain. The monument survives as an important example of prehistoric artistic expression in the Yorkshire landscape and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the national heritage designation system.
