The hill is an outlier in the southern part of the Ochil Hills. The Menstrie Burn runs in a deep valley, the Menstrie Glen, north to south along its western face, joined by the First Inncha Burn from two branches on its northern slopes, while the Baiquharn Burn runs north-south on its eastern slopes. At 387 or 388.1 metres, the hill is the 9013th highest point in the British Isles. Myreton Hill is not quite as high as its neighbour Dumyat, from which it is separated by the deep Menstrie Glen, but Dumyat is a more popular walking destination.
