Rock with one cup mark east of the plantation on Weston Moor is a Bronze Age carved rock located on Weston Moor in Yorkshire, approximately 380 metres north-west of Weston Moor Cottage. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age period. Cup marks represent among the earliest known decorative or ritual markings made by human hand in the British landscape, though their precise purpose remains uncertain, with interpretations ranging from territorial markers to ritual or shamanistic significance. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric activity and artistic expression in the Yorkshire uplands.
