History & significance

Rock with one or two cup marks near derelict walling below outcrop in enclosed pasture on Snowden Carr, 350m west of Carr Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art monument in Yorkshire. The rock bears evidence of cup mark carvings, a form of prehistoric rock art whose precise chronological position within these periods remains uncertain but is widely recognised as belonging to the later prehistoric tradition in northern Britain. The monument's location within an enclosed pasture, adjacent to derelict walling remains, suggests it may have served a ritual or territorial significance within its original landscape context. The site remains of archaeological interest as an example of the cup-marked rock tradition found across the upland regions of northern England.
