Table Hill is situated in the range of Malvern Hills that runs about 13 kilometres (8 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border.

[1] Although the flint route from North Wales to Wessex lay to the north of Malvern, there is some evidence to suggest that traders passed over the Malvern Hills.

A 19th-century guidebook describes a collapsed burial mound on North Hill, named the Giant's Grave, and a tump on Table Hill.

These tumuli may have been connected to the Dobunni settlement in Mathon:[2] Upon the Table Hill, you will perceive the figure of a large table, from which the name is derived.

In the centre is a cross, of the same size as that by the Giant's Grave, upon North Hill.
