Llannerch cup-marked rock is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual stone located in Radnorshire, Wales. The monument is distinguished by a series of cup marks—shallow circular depressions—pecked into its surface, a form of rock art characteristic of prehistoric ritual and ceremonial practice in Britain. Cup-marked stones of this type are typically dated to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains difficult without excavation. The function of such marked stones remains uncertain, though they are widely interpreted as possessing ritual or spiritual significance within prehistoric communities, possibly associated with burial practices, territorial marking, or ceremonial activity.
