It is a limestone outcrop known as a Roachstone with the underlying Tealby Clays having been eroded at a faster rate.[2]

The Viking Way long-distance footpath runs along the western flank of the hill, though there is no public access to the summit itself.

On the summit is a possible Neolithic long barrow, though this is disputed.[3]
