Cupmarked stone, 690m south-west of Wagtail Farm, is a prehistoric rock carving located in Northumberland, England. The stone bears cup marks, a form of rock art characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual or territorial practice, though the precise chronology and purpose of such markings remain subjects of scholarly debate. Cup-marked stones are distributed widely across northern Britain and represent one of the earliest forms of monumental art in the archaeological record. This example forms part of the broader tradition of carved stones found throughout Northumberland and contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and symbolic practices in the region.
