Large cup and ring marked rock in forestry furrows on Rivock is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire. The monument bears cup and ring markings, a characteristic form of Bronze Age rock art found across northern Britain, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. The rock carvings comprise cupules surrounded by concentric rings pecked into the stone surface, a motif whose precise ritual or symbolic purpose remains uncertain but which is widely understood as having held significance for Bronze Age communities. The site's location within forestry furrows reflects both the landscape's subsequent management and the enduring visibility of these ancient carvings across the moorland terrain of the Pennines.
