Overview

History & significance

Rock with at least two cups and a groove east of the plantation on Weston Moor 450m north west of Weston Moor Cottage is a Bronze Age rock art site located on moorland in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing at least two cup marks along with a groove, characteristic of the cup and ring motifs that are distributed across the upland regions of northern Britain. Such rock carvings are typically attributed to the Bronze Age, though precise dating remains uncertain as the marks themselves do not lend to conventional archaeological dating methods. The site's location on open moorland reflects the broader pattern of Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking on high ground across Yorkshire and the wider Pennine region.
