White Sheet Hill is divided between the civil parishes of Kilmington, Mere and Stourton with Gasper.

There are some 12 ancient burial mounds (barrows) on the hill dating from 1800 BC,[3] and a large Iron Age hillfort called White Sheet Camp.

[4] The site was excavated by Sir Richard Hoare, 2nd Baronet in the early 19th century:[5] Immediately on ascending the hill called Whitesheet, we find ourselves surrounded by British antiquities.

The road intersects an ancient earthen work, of a circular form, and which, from the slightness of its vallum, appears to have been of high antiquity.

The primary one was an interment of burned bones deposited within a shallow cist, in an urn rudely formed, and badly baked.
