Low rock with one cup on unforested plateau at Rivock is a Bronze Age rock art site located on the moorland plateau near Rivock in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock outcrop bearing a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock carving typical of ritual or ceremonial landscapes in northern Britain during the Bronze Age. Such cup-marked rocks are thought to have held symbolic or spiritual significance for Bronze Age communities, though their precise function remains debated amongst archaeologists. The site's location on open moorland reflects the settlement and land use patterns of Bronze Age Yorkshire, where such marked rocks often appear in association with burial cairns and other ritual monuments.
