It is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Scheduled Ancient Monument and Local Nature Reserve [1]. The hill is famous for hamstone, a distinctive golden sandstone that has been quarried for centuries and gave its name to nearby villages Stoke-sub-Hamdon and Norton Sub Hamdon [1].
