Rock with single cup near track north of Drake Hill is a Bronze Age carved rock located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a natural rock surface marked with a single cup-mark, a form of rock art characteristic of prehistoric Britain, particularly the Bronze Age period. Cup-marks are shallow, roughly circular depressions pecked into rock surfaces, often found singly or in groups, and their precise ritual or symbolic function remains debated among scholars. This example contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric rock carvings in northern England and represents a category of portable or fixed rock art that may have served ceremonial, territorial, or commemorative purposes within Bronze Age communities.
