What about Lingmoor Fell, leading up to Brown Howe?

Could it be Silver How?

Yes, we had followed the path heading up from on a lovely snowy morning, but then carried on underneath Silver How and this is looking back before we headed on to Loughrigg.

Over to you!

Thanks, walked over it frequently. Nearby there is a very interesting and little known mediaeval field system..

Name these if you can and where are they?

CharlesT - it seems to be just you and me today...

PS when I was near Houns Tout, I saw the field system I think - the low-angled winter light showed it up.

Is the photo the Whispering Knights - part of the Rollright Stones?

Yes, I would say near, not part of the Rollright Stones, but that's splitting hairs.
If you look on Google Earth you can see the outlines of the field system. On the ground there are noticeable banks and ditches. Surprisingly it hasn't been ploughed out.

Your go.

Might it be Stirrup Crag on the North end of Yewbarrow?

Cheers, I recognised the Whitches hat.

So what fell was I on the top of when I took this pic?
