Rock with dense concentration of cup marks on Stanbury Hill is a Bronze Age carved stone located near Stanbury in West Yorkshire. The rock surface bears a substantial number of cup marks, which are small circular depressions pecked into the stone, a characteristic form of prehistoric rock art found across northern Britain. Such cup mark concentrations are typically attributed to the Bronze Age, though their precise chronology and ritual or practical purpose remain matters of scholarly discussion. The site represents an important example of Pennine rock art and contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and symbolic practices in the upland regions of Yorkshire.
