Rock with at least 15 cups 240m south of Great Wood Laithe, Horse Close Hill is a Bronze Age cup-marked stone located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a natural rock surface bearing at least fifteen cup marks, a form of rock art typical of Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial practice in northern Britain. Cup-marked stones of this period remain poorly understood, though their widespread distribution across upland regions suggests they held cultural or religious significance for Bronze Age communities. The stone survives as an important archaeological record of prehistoric artistic expression and land use in the Yorkshire uplands.
