"Hold short of the RW"

Hi to everyone,

I am a bit confused and need some guidance please.

I have read similar topic in the archive but still it is not clear to me.

CAP413 says that term "Hold Short" means:

"Stop before reaching the specified location.
Note: Only used in limited circumstances where no defined
point exists (e.g. where there is no suitably located holding
point), or to reinforce a clearance limit."

So for instance I get the clearance "taxi via TW A hold short RW 33"
and there is holding point markings on the TW (cat 1, or dashed and solid lines). Can I proceed beyond those lines to hold near to the RW or not?
Because some times those lines could be very far from the rw, which is more likely marks the ILS sensitive area.

I understand that if there are no markings then you would have to judge by yourself where to stop.

Please if you have any references to a document I would appreciate that.

Thanks
