The mountain has been part of the Welsh landscape for centuries, with evidence of human activity in the surrounding area dating back through prehistory. Archaeological remains scattered around the slopes suggest people have inhabited and used this region for a very long time.

The mountain holds multiple classifications in British hill categorizations, including status as a Marilyn, Hewitt, and Nuttall due to its elevation.

Trails to the summit are well-marked and suitable for hikers of different experience levels, with options starting from nearby villages. Weather changes quickly at this elevation, so it is wise to bring appropriate clothing and check conditions before heading out.

The summit features a triangulation point surrounded by a notable rock formation that stands slightly taller than the marker itself. Visitors often miss this natural feature when passing through the area.
