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. The monument consists of a natural rock surface bearing seven cup marks (cupules) that are collectively enclosed within a carved groove, a form of decoration characteristic of later prehistoric rock art in northern Britain. Such cup and groove motifs are typically dated to the Bronze Age, though the precise chronology of individual panels remains difficult to establish. The site's location on the moorland landscape reflects the wider distribution of rock art across the upland regions of northern England during this period.
