Cup, ring and groove marked rock 80m south west of Druid's Cave Farm is a prehistoric rock art panel located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, ring marks, and groove marks, characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions in northern Britain. Such motifs, typically created by pecking or grinding into the stone surface, are thought to date from the second millennium BCE, though their precise chronology and symbolic meaning remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. The site represents an important example of the ritual or territorial marking practices of Bronze Age communities in the Yorkshire landscape.
