- •The hill sits within the Ladder Hills group, a cluster of modest Dodds and Tumps that form a transition zone between the higher Cairngorms to the west and the gentler farmland of Strathdon to the east.
- •At 586 metres, it qualifies as a Dodd—a hill between 2000 and 2499 feet with sufficient prominence—making it one of the lower summits in a region dominated by much higher Munros and Corbetts.
