Cup marked stone on Stainton Moor above White Bog is a Bronze Age rock art monument located in North Yorkshire. The stone bears multiple cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving consisting of small, circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, characteristic of ritual or territorial markers created during the Bronze Age period. Such cup marked stones are distributed across upland areas of northern England and Scotland, where they are thought to relate to ceremonial or astronomical practices of prehistoric communities. The monument's position on Stainton Moor reflects the use of elevated moorland locations for ritual significance during the Bronze Age.
