The view from Hasting Hill looking east towards the sea. The hill to the left is Humbledon Hill, once a defended settlement of Iron Age date which developed from a Later Bronze Age palisaded enclosure, surviving as the buried remains of its ditches and partially surviving banks. The east, the settlement has been compromised by housing development, gardening activities and the construction of a Victorian reservoir.
To the right are the Tunstall Hills, Twin conical hills south of the city of Sunderland, with views over the city and the sea. The twin peaks gave this site its older name of Maiden Paps. There have been a number of archaeological finds, on each hill. Flints, scrapers, cores and limpet shells, a bronze axe head, and cists.
