Prehistoric rock art, 150 metres south west of Nook End, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age carved rock surface located in Westmorland, England. The site comprises cup-and-ring markings and related motifs incised into natural rock outcrop, forms of rock art characteristic of prehistoric ritual and territorial expression in northern Britain during the later prehistoric period. Such carvings represent significant evidence of early human activity and cultural practice in the upland regions of the Lake District and Pennines, though the precise chronology and interpretive function of individual sites remain subjects of ongoing scholarly investigation. The monument's survival in situ contributes to understanding the distribution and character of prehistoric artistic and symbolic expression across the wider landscape of north-western England.
