Cup, ring and groove marked rock in wall 220m south of Far High Westcliff is a prehistoric carved stone of Bronze Age date located in Yorkshire. The rock bears a series of cup marks, concentric rings, and linear groove carvings, which are characteristic motifs of British Bronze Age rock art, typically dating to the second millennium before the common era. Such marked rocks are believed to hold ritual or ceremonial significance, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly debate. The stone's incorporation into a field wall represents the long continuity of land use at this location, with the rock being repurposed from its original context into the later landscape structure.
