Peat near the summit cairn has been dated to a uniform age of about 3,500 years old, indicating that it was constructed rather than natural;[2] it is believed to have been part of a Bronze Age burial mound.[3] The area has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument by English Heritage.[3]

Margery Hill is the highest marked point within the boundaries of the City of Sheffield. The land rises slightly to 550 metres (1,800 ft) about 0.9 miles (1.5 km) to the south, near High Stones.
