Cup, ring and groove marked rock at the base of a wall between East Morton and West Morton is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire. The stone bears a series of carved cup marks, ring marks, and linear groove markings typical of prehistoric rock art traditions found across northern Britain. Such decorated rocks are thought to have held ritual or ceremonial significance for Neolithic and Bronze Age communities, though their exact purpose remains uncertain. The monument's integration into a later field wall structure demonstrates its longstanding presence in the landscape and the value placed upon it by subsequent generations.
