Rock with complex carving south west of a wall junction, 265m SSW of Far High Westcliff is an outcrop bearing prehistoric rock art located in Yorkshire. The site features complex carved motifs executed into the natural rock surface, characteristic of Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking practices. The carvings' precise form and their relationship to the adjacent wall junction remain subjects of archaeological interest, though the site's remote moorland location suggests it held significance within the prehistoric landscape economy of the Pennine region. As a rock art site, it contributes to the wider corpus of carved outcrops found across northern England, though detailed recording and analysis of its specific motifs would be required to establish its exact chronological attribution within the prehistoric period.
