Hi,
I did wrote to you many times about mount Hermon and it summit (or as we call it now – Mount Hermon Crown), but apparently one of the first to visit it and write about it was Charles Warren (1840-1927) 
Warren visit to Hermon Summit was around 1870 and he wrote an Article on Mount Hermon summit: “The Summit of Hermon, With An Illustration” ,that was published on Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Statement Issue 2.5 (Jan. 1 to March 31 on1870) pages 210-215.
Warren described the summit as 2 peaks along north south 350 from each other on a plate (I guess the South peak is where the UN Hotel Hermon Post is located), and third peak 550 m to west with creek 30 meter deep between it to other two (I assume the west peak is on the Lebanon side) . All those create the summit.
The southern peak has a hole in it and a low wall of stones in an oval in an elliptical shape surrounding the bottom.
South of it, there are ruins of a temple 12 m on 11 m, with walls about 75 cm thick. It might have been a Sacellum, which is a rectangular building without a roof.
The entrance to the chiseled Cavern (which the IDF soldiers after Yom Kippur war mentiones is located in the ruins east of temple it in irregular shape, 10 meters in diameter, 2 to 2.5 meter high. In the southwest corner, there is a column to support the roof of it.
A stone with Greek inscriptions was found by Warren northwest of the oval, and it is now in the British museum.
According to Charles Warren, the oval was a worship place as the Kaaba in Mecca – as people used to surround it several times. He also claims the Hermon might be one of the holy mountains of the Mohammedan mythology.
That is about it from Warren visit to the place. I found an hiking company that gives hikes to the summit of the Hermon, and hope to joint on those hikes next year.
Take Care
