Doubler Stones is a pair of rock outcrops located in Yorkshire bearing cup marks, a form of prehistoric rock art characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The stones feature multiple cupules, the distinctive hemispherical depressions pecked into the rock surface, which represent one of the earliest forms of artistic expression in Britain. These cup-marked outcrops constitute an important archaeological record of prehistoric ritual or ceremonial activity, though the precise function and dating of such markings remain subjects of scholarly investigation. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its significance to the archaeological heritage of northern England.
