Rock with at least seven cup marks at edge of track on Stoop Hill is a Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial monument located on Askwith Moor in Yorkshire. The rock bears a series of cup marks, cup-and-ring marks or similar motifs pecked into its surface, a characteristic feature of prehistoric rock art traditions in northern Britain dating to the Bronze Age and possibly earlier periods. The monument's position at the edge of a track suggests it may have held significance as a territorial marker or ritual focal point within the landscape. Such decorated rocks remain important evidence for understanding Bronze Age spiritual practices and settlement patterns across the Yorkshire uplands.
