Small cup marked rock at eastern edge of a hollow 125m south east of the enclosure on Woofa Bank is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument consists of a single stone bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving typical of the Bronze Age period across northern Britain. The marked rock is positioned at a specific topographical location adjacent to a hollow feature, situated at a defined distance from a nearby enclosure, indicating its integration within a broader Bronze Age landscape of ritual and settlement activity. Cup mark rock art such as this represents evidence of prehistoric artistic and possibly ceremonial practice, though the precise function and significance of individual marked stones remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
