Two carved rocks south of derelict grouse butt, 840m SSW of Crag House is an ancient monument comprising two stones bearing cup and ring markings, located in Yorkshire, England. The carvings are characteristic of prehistoric rock art, typically dated to the Bronze Age, and represent examples of the ritual or symbolic practices of early communities in the Pennine region. The precise purpose of such cup and ring marked stones remains debated amongst scholars, though they are commonly associated with ceremonial or territorial significance. The monument's remote upland location, south of a derelict grouse butt, reflects the survival of Bronze Age rock art in areas where later development has been limited.
