Um/anyone else with their anorak hood firmly pulled up. Seems I was totally wrong with regard to the new "Miller Moss" 2,000ft summit. It's not Little Lingy Hill at all, rather it's the unnamed spot height of 609m just below the "Iron Crag" title on OS 1:25 maps. This is a bit confusing, as there is nothing else in the vicinity of note. I went to the cairn a couple of years back while doing the LDWA "Back o' Skidda" route and was trying to bag all the Birketts in the vicinity. Bill clearly didn't think this one was worth it. On my GPS trace below you can see I've given it the title of "Iron Crag" must change that! (not to be confused with the Ennerdale Iron Crag  ) |

Anorak - what here? Yes - I saw the reference to 609m for OS, but didn't relate it. Here's a bit more detail grough.co.uk |

Iron Crag is a far better name! As would be Medium-sized Lingy Hill |

I agree that Iron Crag is a far better name too. That's what Synge classifies it as, but Bill Birkett does call it Little Lingy Hill - he thinks the OS were wrong in giving the LLH title to the wierd little dome to the SW of the new "mountain" and immediately to the E of Miller Moss. All a bit train-spotterish of course
