The ramshackle drystone wall was once the boundary between Westmorland and Yorkshire. Since 1974 it has been demoted to a parish boundary and also the national park boundary (this may soon include the land I am standing on - watch this space). For some unfathomable reason the wall builders put a kink in the wall here at the strangely-named 'top'. Perhaps there was a team building uphill and another building downhill and they didn't quite line up? Whatever the reason it once altered a county boundary.
