The Garth has been central to the life of the area since prehistoric times. The Bronze Age burial mounds had already been there over two thousand years before the Romans arrived. Throughout the following ages the deforested hill became a pilgrimage for pagan and modern puritans seeking the high ground for worship. For centuries it has been farmed and also mined for minerals.
