Rock with seven cup marks enclosed by a groove south of Foldshaw Ridge is a Bronze Age rock art panel located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface carved with seven cup marks that are contained within an enclosing groove, a configuration that distinguishes it from simpler cup-and-ring marked stones common across northern Britain. Rock art of this type, featuring cup marks sometimes enclosed by concentric grooves or linear frames, is typically dated to the Bronze Age, though precise dating remains difficult without excavation or associated contexts. The site represents evidence of ritual or symbolic activity on the upland moors during prehistory and contributes to understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in the Pennine region.
