Two cup and ring marked rocks in conifer plantation on Rivock is a Bronze Age rock art site located in Yorkshire, England. Cup and ring marks are a characteristic form of prehistoric rock carving found across northern Britain, typically dating to the Bronze Age or earlier periods, consisting of small circular depressions surrounded by concentric rings pecked into the rock surface. The two rocks at this location preserve examples of these enigmatic carvings, which remain incompletely understood in terms of their precise ritual or practical function, though they are widely regarded as significant indicators of Bronze Age activity and belief systems in the landscape. The site's location within a modern conifer plantation reflects the changing land use of the area, though the carved rocks themselves represent a continuity of human occupation and symbolic engagement with the Yorkshire landscape spanning several millennia.
