Very hot sunny day with drier than average moorland underfoot. 486 metre point next to fence didn't seem to be the highest point walking either way over this hill today.

Hailshowers Fell Alternative Summit This spot above the cairn appeared to be as high or higher than the summit of Hailshowers Fell beside the fence on this hot sunny Sunday. This hill high point is also called Great Harlow.

The top of Hailshowers Fell (486m) No hail today, just a light rain although Pendle Hill is just visible. Nothing marks the actual top so it could be any one of thousands of tufts of moorland grass.

Raven's Castle or Crowd Stones No raven, no castle and certainly no crowd. Even the stones are pretty unremarkable (I can barely bring myself to tick the 'Rocks, Scree, Cliffs' box!). If the trade descriptions act applied to map names then this place would definitely be in trouble. After the recent disappointment of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4028170">SD7060 : Ravens Castle (481m)</a> it's all a bit of a letdown.
