Rock with one large cup mark on the south slope of High Black Hill is a Bronze Age rock art monument located within Middleton Moor Enclosure in Yorkshire. The rock bears a single substantial cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock carving typical of upland areas in northern Britain during the Bronze Age. Cup marks, created by repeated percussion to produce circular depressions on natural rock surfaces, represent one of the most common types of rock art surviving from this period. The monument's position on the open moorland, preserved as part of the wider archaeological landscape of Middleton Moor, provides evidence for Bronze Age ritual or territorial practices in the Pennine uplands.
