Rock carved human figure 570m south of King Lane Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock carving located in Yorkshire. The figure is carved into natural rock outcrop and represents one of the relatively rare examples of anthropomorphic rock art surviving from prehistoric Britain. The carving's precise dating remains uncertain owing to the difficulty of establishing chronology for such monuments without excavation or associated finds, though the style and execution are consistent with later prehistoric rock art traditions. Its survival as an upstanding carved feature makes it a significant record of prehistoric artistic expression and ritual practice in the region.
