It has the remains of a fort on its summit, which is traditionally the home of the Manx god of the sea Mannanan beg mac y Leir.

On the south western slope of the hill the Cringle Reservoir was formed to supply water to the southern part of the island.

A short, straight footpath links the summit with a small saddle known as the Round Table, through which pass the Bayr ny Skeddan walking route, the A27 Colby to Peel road and the A36 Sloc road.

Looking south-west lies the Calf of Man, followed by the distant Wicklow Mountains of Ireland.

To the south, the northern coastline of Anglesey and more remarkably, on exceptionally clear days, the mountains of Snowdonia and the Great Orme in Wales are all visible.
