Dunnerdale Fells above Stonestar

There is an old postcard of this scene called "Dunnerdale Fells". This is a recent picture of the same from the same location. Peaks include Cat's Crag and Raven's Crag, and what rock-climbers call Stonestar Crag. This picture is a reverse view of SD1992 : Duddon Valley south of Ulpha.

On Dunnerdale Fells near Gowther Barrow

I can't work out what these mounds are called. They might be part of Potherilt Hill or Gowther Barrow. They don't seem to be so distinctive when viewed from other angles.
