Rock with cup marks in south east face near grouse butts on Foldshaw Ridge is an Bronze Age rock art site located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock outcrop bearing cup marks—shallow, rounded depressions pecked into the stone surface—on its south-east facing side. Cup mark rock art of this type is characteristic of the Bronze Age period and is found across upland areas of northern Britain, typically dating to between 2000 and 700 BC. The site's location on open moorland at approximately 860 metres elevation reflects the Bronze Age use of upland landscapes, whether for ritual, territorial marking, or other cultural purposes that remain partially understood.
