Border hill

This hill sits on the England–Scotland border, so different access law applies on each side: Scotland's right of responsible access to the north, England's CRoW framework to the south.

Which hill this one belongs to

Hungry Law is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to The Cheviot (816 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 427 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
