Rock with at least four large cups and a groove north of Dryas Dike, 800m ESE of Wards End, Middleton Moor, is a Bronze Age rock art site in Yorkshire, England. The monument is characterized by cup-and-groove markings carved into bedrock, a form of abstract rock art common to upland regions of northern Britain during the Bronze Age. The presence of multiple large cup marks and an associated groove indicates ritual or utilitarian significance, though the precise function remains uncertain. Such rock art sites are typically dated to the second millennium before Christ, reflecting the cultural practices of Bronze Age communities inhabiting these moorland landscapes.
