Cup marked stone on Stainton Moor above White Bog is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire, England. The stone bears cup marks, a form of non-figurative rock art consisting of shallow, circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, which are characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age artistic traditions in Britain. Such cup marked stones are found across northern England and Scotland and represent some of the earliest monumental art in the British Isles, though the precise dating and ritual function of individual examples remain subjects of archaeological study. This example contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and ceremonial practices on the Yorkshire moors during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
