A carved rock between The Stang Forest boundary wall and Woodclose Gill, 750m south east of Far East Hope, Barningham Moor is an undated rock carving of unknown archaeological purpose. The monument consists of a natural rock outcrop bearing carved marks whose chronological attribution remains uncertain within the broad span of prehistory to early historic periods. Its isolated upland location on Barningham Moor places it within a landscape that has yielded other prehistoric and early medieval finds, though the specific function of this particular carved rock—whether ritual, territorial, or utilitarian—cannot be determined from the surviving evidence. The carving's preservation and accessibility have made it a recorded archaeological feature worthy of statutory protection as part of the heritage record of the North York Moors.
