Rock with shallow cup and ring-markings at the western end of the ridge on Stanbury Hill is a Bronze Age carved rock surface located in Yorkshire, England. The monument bears a series of cup marks and ring-marked designs pecked into the stone, which are characteristic of prehistoric rock art traditions found across northern Britain, typically dating to the Bronze Age. Such motifs remain undetermined in purpose, though scholars have proposed functions ranging from territorial or ritual significance to shamanistic or astronomical associations. The rock's position at the western end of Stanbury Hill's ridge suggests it formed part of a wider landscape of prehistoric settlement and ceremonial activity in the region.
