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.

The site represents an important example of the ritual or territorial marking practices of Bronze Age communities in the Yorkshire landscape.
