Gritstone pillar with three cup marks in the north pavement of the A65 at Horsforth is a prehistoric rock art monument located in West Yorkshire, England. The stone bears three cup marks, which are small cuplike depressions characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age rock art traditions found across Britain. The pillar's exact date remains uncertain, though such cup-marked stones are typically attributed to the prehistoric period, spanning several millennia from the Neolithic through to the Bronze Age. The monument's survival in situ on the modern A65 roadside, approximately 440 metres south-east of the Low Fold roundabout, represents an important record of prehistoric ritual and symbolic expression in the Yorkshire landscape.
