Boulder on Common Fell Common Fell is a relatively minor hill feature, part of Watermillock Common; the boulder lies just below the summit cairn. OS mapping seems to record the boulder as a cairn itself - clearly, it's not one! In the distance, Great Mell Fell lies at the left side of the image with Little Mell Fell being right of the boulder. Gowbarrow Fell is to the right of that and nearer.

Moorland of Watermillock Common The ridge beginning east from Hart Side narrows to the feature known as Brown Hills and then meanders becoming Watermillock Common and goes beyond over Common Hill and other minor rises. The nature of the ground varies; here on Watermillock Common it's moorland in character. The hill above the distant cragginess is High Brow. Blencathra lies beyond, largely concealed in cloud.
