Prehistoric rock art in Patterdale is a series of carved rock surfaces located in the Lake District landscape of Westmorland. The site comprises cup-and-ring markings and associated motifs incised into natural rock outcrops, typical of Bronze Age rock art traditions in northern Britain. Such carvings, produced by pecking or grinding into the stone surface, are considered to date from the Bronze Age period, though the precise chronology remains difficult to establish. The art form represents evidence of ritual or ceremonial practices among prehistoric communities in the upland regions of northern England, contributing to understanding of Bronze Age cultural expression and land use in the Lake District.
