Rock with cup marks enclosed by grooves at north east end of ridge, south of Snowden Beck in Ellers Wood, Dob Park is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art panel. The monument comprises a natural rock surface bearing cup marks, depressions created by pecking or grinding, which are enclosed or surrounded by grooved lines cut into the stone surface. Such decorated rocks are characteristic of prehistoric ritual or territorial expression across upland Britain, particularly in the regions of northern England and Scotland. The site's location on the north Yorkshire moors places it within a landscape bearing other prehistoric monuments, though the precise dating and specific interpretation of the individual motifs remain subjects of archaeological study.
