At the beginning of the twentieth century the area immediately to the east of the hill was known as Red Lion Plantations, and just beyond that was a small hamlet called Red Lion.[3] As of 2020 Red Lion consists of just a single dwelling,[4] which Royal Mail considers to be part of nearby Llanbadarn Fynydd.[5]
A building labelled Red Lion School is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map at SO0681576817.
