It was discovered by the [[Opportunity rover]], and named by NASA on September 28, 2012.<ref name="NASA-20120928" /> The "approximate" site coordinates are: {{coord|2.22923|S|5.35068|W|globe:Mars}}.
The hill includes a [[outcrop|rock outcrop]] called ''Kirkwood'', where Opportunity found a concentration of small spherical features. It also includes an area where [[clay minerals]] have been detected from orbiter observations.<ref name="NASA-20121003">{{cite web |last=Dunbar |first=Brian |last2=Greicius |first2=Tony |title=Opportunity Eyes Rock Fins on Cape York, Sol 3058 |url=http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/multimedia/pia16128.html |date=October 3, 2012 |publisher=[[NASA]] |access-date=October 13, 2012 |archive-date=April 7, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130407094308/http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/multimedia/pia16128.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
