Dewley Hill is a Scheduled Monument and was considered to be a Bronze Age burial mound (marked as a Tumulus on old maps). The mound was, when visited by the OS in 1978, over 40m wide and 4m high and is more prosaically identified by English Heritage as a kaim (or kame), a sand and gravel mound of natural glacial origin. However, Mesolithic flints and a Neolithic stone axe found on the hill suggesting that the site was indeed known and used in prehistory.
