[1] The Bronze Age burial mound at the summit is a protected Scheduled Monument.

Hollins Hill barrow features a bowl-shaped pit within a round cairn about 13 metres (43 ft) wide.

It was excavated by Thomas Bateman in 1851 and subsequently by Micah Salt in 1894.

Their finds included human bones, burnt from cremation, in a grave cut into the rock.

[2][3] The east side of the hill is designated as 'Open Access' land, following the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
