Carrock Fell

In the Northern Fells and has a Briganti, Iron Age hill fort on top. An interpretation of the name Briganti is "The high one". Appropriate or what?

 

Has outcrops of the volcanic rock Gabbro usually associated with Skye and islands in the Hebrides. The name comes from a small Italian town and is a Mafric rock. Gives good grip to the climbers boot, large crystals!
