What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Cup-marked rock in stone quarry on Stocks Hill as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Cup-marked rock art typically dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods (c. 4000–800 BCE) and may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly related to water, fertility, or celestial observations. Such markings are often found at ceremonial or burial sites.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
