Cup, ring and groove marked rock on south slope of High Black Hill is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The stone bears a characteristic assemblage of cup marks, concentric rings, and linear grooves, motifs typical of British Bronze Age rock art tradition. Such marked rocks are concentrated in the upland regions of northern England and are thought to have held ritual or ceremonial significance within Bronze Age communities, though their precise function remains uncertain. The panel's position on the open moorland and its preservation in situ make it an important record of prehistoric artistic expression and land use in the Pennine uplands.
