The small sacred monument, made of granite typical of the region, which the biker encounters at this spot, has been located here for several centuries. The familiar cross shape is difficult to recognize because the typical side arms of the longitudinal beam are largely missing, and only a few fragments of this monument are present.

At the northern end of Hamel Down, where the moor drops down to Natsworthy, is a memorial to a RAF bomber that crashed after a raid in March 1941 during the Second World War. The memorial is by the side of a path that cuts across the moors to/from English Heritage's ancient settlement Grimspound. The memorial reads: R.A.F S.49. R.D.W. C.J.L. R.B. R.L.A.E. 21.3.41.
