Rock with three groove and three cup marks in base of wall east of track and 50m south of High Hood Gap, Heyshaw is a Bronze Age rock art panel located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a natural rock surface bearing six carved marks: three cup marks and three groove marks, which were pecked or ground into the stone surface in prehistoric times. Such cup and groove marks are characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions found throughout northern Britain, though their precise ritual or functional significance remains uncertain. The rock's position within a wall in this moorland setting reflects both the prehistoric creation of the markings and later landscape modification through agricultural or pastoral use.
