Two carved rocks east of West Pasture, 335m south west of The Rigg is a Bronze Age monument comprising two stones bearing cup-and-ring markings located in Yorkshire. The carvings consist of circular depressions and concentric rings pecked into the rock surface, a characteristic form of prehistoric rock art found across northern Britain and dating to the Bronze Age period. Such rock carvings likely held ritual or territorial significance within Bronze Age communities, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The monument survives as an important example of portable or in-situ rock art from this period and contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age cultural expression in the Yorkshire landscape.
