This part of Barningham Moor contains many Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. Over 44 cup and ring marked stones can be seen, as well as a stone circle (D1006). These are Scheduled Monuments protected by law (11).

The monument includes a variety of prehistoric sites on Barningham Moor distributed across Eel Hill and Cross Gill along a natural terrace. The prehistoric sites include a stone circle, three cairns, 44 carved rocks, a complex unenclosed settlement, a burnt mound, an enclosure and a boulder wall. The stone circle is located at the head of Osmaril Gill. The unenclosed settlement is on a north facing terrace at the foot of a steep slope, east of Osmaril Gill. The burnt mound is north of the settlement and consists of a pile of heat-reddened and cracked small stones. The enclosure, located north of Eel Hill, is subrectangular, 25 metres by 15 metres. The enclosure is likely to have been used in prehistoric times to contain stock. Rock art panels were recorded as part of the Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project (NADRAP) 2005-2008 (1).
