Overview

History & significance

Rock with five or more cups south of track on Weston Moor is a Bronze Age cup-marked stone located on Weston Moor in Yorkshire, England. The rock bears at least five cup marks, which are shallow circular depressions pecked into its surface, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period. Cup-marked stones are found across northern Britain and represent early ritual or territorial marking practices, though their precise purpose remains debated among archaeologists. The monument's location on the open moorland, approximately three hundred metres west-north-west of Weston Moor Cottage, preserves it within a landscape that has retained its Bronze Age character.
