Rock with complex pattern of cup, ring and groove marks in wall 250m south of Far High Westcliff is a prehistoric carved rock located in Yorkshire, England. The monument features a complex arrangement of cup marks, concentric rings, and groove marks pecked into its surface, characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions in northern Britain. Such carved outcrops, typically dating to the second millennium BC, represent significant evidence of ritual or territorial marking practices among prehistoric communities. The rock's incorporation into a later field wall demonstrates the longstanding significance of the location within the landscape, with the prehistoric carvings preserved through their reuse in later boundary construction.
