From the Wikipedia article
Hurst Hill is a location on Anglezarke Moor, within the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire, England. With a height of 317 metres (1,040 feet), the summit provides views towards the Irish Sea. It is located between Round Loaf and Pikestones, both of which are Neolithic remnants. It is probable that Hurst Hill (and nearby Grain Pole Hill) were vantage points for the ancient communities. No excavation work has taken place.
