Low rock with one cup on unforested plateau at Rivock is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock carving characteristic of the Bronze Age period in Britain. Cup marks, pecked or ground into stone surfaces, are thought to have held ritual or ceremonial significance, though their precise purpose remains debated among archaeologists. The rock's location on an open plateau suggests its visibility and accessibility were important aspects of its original context and use.
