Cupmarked stone, 690m south-west of Wagtail Farm, is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Northumberland. The stone bears cup marks, a form of rock carving consisting of small, circular depressions pecked into the rock surface, which represents a widespread tradition of ritual or symbolic marking found throughout Britain and dating primarily to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. Such cupmarked stones are among the earliest forms of monumental art in the British Isles, though their precise chronology and purpose remain subjects of scholarly debate. The monument survives as evidence of early communal or ceremonial activity in the Northumberland landscape during prehistoric times.
