Doubler Stones is a Neolithic monument comprising two prominent rock outcrops located in Yorkshire, England, notable for their cup and ring markings. The carvings, which consist of cups and concentric rings pecked into the natural rock surface, are characteristic of Neolithic rock art traditions dating to approximately 3000-2000 BCE, though precise dating remains difficult. The monument represents an important example of prehistoric ritual or ceremonial activity in northern Britain, with the cup marks suggesting repeated use or visitation across an extended period. The outcrops remain in their original landscape setting, providing evidence of how Neolithic communities engaged with and marked significant natural features in the upland terrain.
