==Prehistory==
Three scheduled monuments are on the hill, all dating to the Iron Age. Close to the summit is the hillfort enclosure of Buarth-y-Gaer.〔, Buarth-y-Gaer〕 On the south-west flank, close to Baglan, is a small hillfort, Craig Ty-Isaf.〔, Craig Ty-Isaf〕 A third hillfort, Gaer Fawr is 800 m (870 yd) from the summit, on the northern spur.〔, Gaer Fawr, also known as Mynydd-y-Gaer Lower camp〕
Bronze Age burial cairns are also recorded. One, near the summit, is within the enclosure at Buarth-y-Gaer. Similarly the enclosure at Gaer Fawr has a group of 5 cairns, which may once have been as many as 19, but the rest appear to be ploughed away.〔 Gaer Fawr Cain Group〕 Another cairn is located on the crest of the ridge, part way between the two enclosures.〔 Gaer Fawr Cairn〕
