Small cup-marked rock on Stanbury Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire. The monument consists of a single stone bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock carving created by percussion, which represents one of the simplest and most widespread types of ritual or symbolic marking in prehistoric Britain. Cup-marked rocks are distributed across upland regions of northern England and Scotland, typically occurring on exposed moorland or in liminal landscapes, and their precise function remains uncertain, though they may relate to territorial marking, ceremonial practice, or spiritual significance. This example, situated 40 metres west of the fork in the path on Stanbury Hill, preserves evidence of prehistoric activity in the Pennine landscape.
