The Large carved rock at hill top, north east of line of stone grouse butts on Rivock is a rock carving of prehistoric date located on the moorland of the North York Moors. The monument consists of a natural rock outcrop that bears evidence of human modification through carving, though the precise nature and extent of these carvings requires archaeological assessment. Such carved rocks on northern English moorlands are typically associated with Bronze Age or later prehistoric activity, though dating rock art of this type remains challenging without detailed contextual study. The site's location on high moorland, in proximity to other archaeological features including the grouse butts, situates it within a broader landscape of historic human use and management of the upland environment.
