Cup, ring and groove marked rock near gate in enclosed pasture on Snowden Carr is a Bronze Age rock art panel located in the upland landscape of Yorkshire. The stone bears a collection of cup marks, concentric rings, and linear groove marks which are characteristic of later prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain, typically dated to the Bronze Age period. Such marked rocks served purposes that remain debated amongst archaeologists, though they are thought to have held ritual, territorial, or symbolic significance for the Bronze Age communities of the region. The monument's position on Snowden Carr, within an enclosed upland pasture, reflects the integration of such art into the working landscape of prehistoric settlement and land use.
