Rock with single cup mark between road and Pennythorn Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock outcrop bearing a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric carved depression that represents one of the simplest and earliest expressions of monumental rock art in Britain. Cup marks of this type, found across northern England and Scotland, are typically attributed to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, though precise dating remains challenging without archaeological excavation. The rock's location between the road and Pennythorn Hill places it within the broader landscape of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity characteristic of upland Yorkshire during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
