This little hillock I think dates from post glacial times when it was left by meltwaters in this part of the Usk Valley. Maybe the Normans used it to control the road into and out of Abergavenny? It has always been in someone's or I think several people's back gardens so as far as I know it has never been surveyed or excavated.
