Two carved rocks in field 130m north east of Cawder Hall Farm, Horse Close Hill is a prehistoric rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises two separate stone outcrops bearing carved cup-and-ring markings, a form of rock art characteristic of the Bronze Age and earlier periods in Britain. Cup-and-ring marks consist of circular depressions surrounded by concentric rings pecked into the rock surface, and their precise dating remains uncertain, though they are typically assigned to the later Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The site represents evidence of ritual or territorial marking practised by prehistoric communities in the upland regions of northern England.
