Rock with cup, ring and groove marks in the west side of Guisecliff Wood, 420m south east of Far High Westcliff is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface carved with cup marks, ring marks, and groove marks, forms of non-figurative rock art characteristic of prehistoric Britain. Such carved rocks are distributed across upland regions of northern England and typically date to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains difficult. The markings represent a significant record of prehistoric artistic and possibly ritual activity in the Yorkshire landscape, though the specific purpose and cultural context of the site remain subjects of scholarly interpretation.
