[2] Although of only moderate height (51 m (167 ft)), it has a relatively large prominence of 31 m (102 ft) due to it being surrounded on all sides by a 'moat' of much lower land.

On top of this is a grade II listed obelisk.

It is a memorial to Gregory Wale, of Little Shelford, of the eighteenth century.
