The hill forms a part of the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and overlooks the Vale of White Horse to the north.Best views of the figure are obtained from the air, or from directly across the Vale, particularly around the villages of Great Coxwell, Longcot and Fernham. The site is owned and managed by the National Trust and is a Scheduled Ancient Mon
