Rock with three groove and three cup marks in base of wall east of track and 50m south of High Hood Gap is a prehistoric rock art site located in Heyshaw, Yorkshire. The monument consists of a single stone featuring six carved marks: three cup marks and three grooves, which are characteristic of Bronze Age or Neolithic rock art traditions found across upland Britain. The rock remains in situ within a field wall in its original landscape setting, providing evidence of ritual or symbolic practices among prehistoric communities in the Pennine uplands. Such cup and groove marks, though their precise function remains uncertain, are thought to relate to ceremonial or territorial significance within the prehistoric economy of northern England.
