The Prominent cup-marked rock east of track, north east of Stanbury Hill is a prehistoric rock art monument located in Yorkshire. The rock bears cup marks, a form of Bronze Age or earlier rock art comprising shallow cupules pecked into the stone surface, which are characteristic of ritual or territorial marking practices in prehistoric Britain. Such cup-marked rocks are typically difficult to date precisely, though they are generally assigned to the Bronze Age or Neolithic period. The monument's location in the Yorkshire uplands places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity, and its survival as a recorded monument reflects the archaeological significance of cup-marked stones as rare surviving examples of portable or in-situ rock art from Britain's ancient past.
