The cup-marked rock east of track, north east of Stanbury Hill is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire. The site consists of a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, shallow circular depressions which were pecked or ground into the stone surface, a form of rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain. Cup-marked rocks are found across northern England and Scotland and represent an important though poorly understood aspect of prehistoric ritual or symbolic activity. The exact chronology and purpose of such markings remain subjects of archaeological debate, though they are generally assigned to the later prehistoric period.
