Rock with single cup near wall at Stead Crag is a cup-marked stone located in Yorkshire, England. The rock bears a single cup mark, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in northern Britain. Cup marks represent one of the earliest forms of monumental art in the British Isles, though their precise ritual or functional purpose remains debated among scholars. The stone's position near a wall at Stead Crag suggests it may have been incorporated into or encountered during later land management, though the cup mark itself belongs to the prehistoric tradition of rock carving found across upland regions of northern England.
