Two brooks rising on the southeast flank flow into Lyne Water a little further downstream. Another brook beyond Carlops feeds the North Esk .
During the time of the Roman occupation of Britain , a Roman road ran along the eastern flank . Its fortification dam can still be seen in parts. At the level of Faw Mount, two sections of the structure are classified as Scheduled Monument .
