The hill is notable for being the start point of the Ridgeway National Trail. There are several round barrows (burial mounds) on it, and it is the site of a wooden circle known as The Sanctuary, indicating human activity for thousands of years. The hill is part of the Avebury section of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site.
