Rock with one cup in east end of Great Wood Plantation is an ancient cup-marked rock located on Horse Close Hill near Cawder Hall Farm in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock art typically associated with Bronze Age or earlier periods. Cup marks represent one of the earliest forms of rock art in Britain, though the precise dating and ritual or practical significance of individual examples remain subjects of archaeological debate. The rock's location within Great Wood Plantation and its survival to the present day make it a notable example of this class of Neolithic and Bronze Age monument in the Yorkshire landscape.
