An interesting feature on the mountain is the presence of several large partly buried granite boulders at about 800 m on the broad west ridge. [5] They are glacial erratics, but the exact mechanism is unclear that has brought them to rest close to the highest point of the Southern Uplands and over 200 m higher than any currently occurring granite in the Galloway Hills.
