Finding the summit

Surveyor's note

cairn (NY 30369 33895) is 30cm lower and is Birkett.

The recorded summit point is rock 8m S of cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Which hill this one belongs to

Miller Moss is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Knott (710 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 590 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.
