The lost Romano-British village of Isenden sits on the hill. In the 1930s it was excavated and Roman bronze, iron, tiles, querns, pottery and two bronze coins were found. The huts of the village on the hilltop seem to have been arranged around a banked roadway, with other roadways nearby and many small fields and barrows. The findings suggested that the village was occupied shortly before the Roman invasion and abandoned in about AD 350. It is now a designated scheduled monument. Unfortunately, modern ploughing has destroyed most of these remains.Holleyman G.A.,(1936) ‘An early British agricultural village site on Highdole Hill, near Telscombe’ . S.A.C. 77, pages 202-21. The village remains are now more obvious towards Fore Hill, near the flint-walled sheepfold (). There the pasture has preserved a muddle of field lynchets and round barrows there. Fore Hill left|thumb|Greenwich Meridian on Mill Hill and Fore Hill To the east of High Dole is Fore Hill. The Greenwich meridian line runs through it. On its steep northern slope () the chalk grassland is well preserved, with lots of cowslips, harebells, devil’s-bit scabious and rampion. The steepest bit to the southeast overlooks Cricketing Bottom and many traditional flowers survive including dropwort, thyme and cowslips. Marbled white and common blue butterflies enjoy the sunny slopes.
