Rock with a complex pattern of cup, ring and groove marks is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial or ritual rock located near Skyreholme in Yorkshire. The stone bears an intricate array of cupmarks, concentric rings, and linear grooves carved into its surface, which represent forms of rock art characteristic of prehistoric ritual landscapes in upland Britain. Such marked rocks are typically associated with ceremonial or territorial significance within their communities, though their precise function remains a matter of scholarly interpretation. The monument's survival in its current location, 755 metres north-north-east of Ridge Lathe within Burhill Kiln Allotment, preserves important evidence of prehistoric artistic and spiritual practices in the Pennine uplands.
