Rock with five or more cups south of track on Weston Moor is a Bronze Age cup-marked rock situated on moorland near Weston in Yorkshire. The stone bears at least five cupules, which are shallow depressions pecked into the rock surface by prehistoric peoples, a practice characteristic of Bronze Age ritual or territorial marking. Cup-marked rocks of this type are found across northern Britain and represent a significant though enigmatic aspect of prehistoric monumental culture, their precise ceremonial or functional purpose remaining uncertain. The rock's position on open moorland, three hundred metres west-north-west of Weston Moor Cottage, places it within a landscape that likely held particular significance during the Bronze Age.
