[3] It revealed an extensive late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement including housing structures, trackways, field boundaries as well as a temple or a shrine.

The settlement was partially enclosed by a palisade with a shallow ditch marking an eastern edge of the site, it survives as a buried feature.

[2] The Romano-British temple is located at the summit of the hill and can be seen as earthwork marked by a circular depression 11 metres (36 ft) in diameter.

The shrine itself was constructed from wood rather than stone[5] and consisted of two structures, one square and the other trapezoidal, both marked by post-holes.

A private burial ground of the Thynne family and the Muntham Court Estate is located within the tree clump at the highest point of the hill.

The Coroner’s inquest found that it was in fact a tragic accident involving accidental discharge of a pistol.
