There is a single, round barrow at the summit that gives Creech Barrow Hill its name and, from some angles, the appearance of a double summit.〔 To the southeast is Stone Hill Down long barrow.〔(''Creech Barrow'' ) at www.themodernantiquarian.com. Accessed on 10 Apr 2013.〕 There is also a trig point on the summit.〔
The name of the hill means "hill" three times. "Creech" is derived from the Celtic ''crich'' = hill and "barrow" from the Saxon for "mound".〔(''East Creech'' ) at www.dorsetlife.co.uk. Accessed on 10 Apr 2013.〕
The hill is a classic viewpoint that was once the site of King John's hunting lodge.〔
