The name is usually pluralised into "the Eildons" or "Eildon Hills", because of its triple peak. The north hilltop (of three peaks) is surrounded by over 5 km of ramparts, enclosing an area of about 16 ha (40 acres) in which at least 300 level platforms have been cut into the rock to provide bases for turf or timber-walled houses.
