Three carved rocks on Long Ridge 420m south east of Wards End, Middleton Moor is a prehistoric rock art site located on the moorland of the Peak District in Yorkshire. The three stones bear carved cup and ring marks, motifs characteristic of Bronze Age rock art in northern Britain, though the precise dating and interpretation of such carvings remains subject to scholarly debate. The carved rocks represent evidence of ritual or territorial marking activity on the moors during the later prehistoric period. The site's location on open moorland is typical of Bronze Age rock art distributions in this region, which cluster on elevated terrain overlooking the surrounding landscape.
