Characterised by rolling upland grazing and forestry, the summit provides an expansive perspective over the Clogher Valley towards the Fermanagh lakelands and the distant, rugged silhouettes of the Sperrin Mountains.

- •From the summit, the views are surprisingly far-reaching, encompassing the Sperrin Mountains to the north and the rolling hills of the Clogher Valley to the south.
- •The hill is a Marilyn, a classification it earns due to its 150-metre prominence from the surrounding landscape, making it a distinct and isolated peak.
- •Labeling a 1,000-foot hill as a 'Big Mountain' might seem like a bit of a stretch to a visitor from the Highlands, but among the low-lying drumlins of Tyrone, it holds its own.
