Finding the summit
highest visible natural feature is flat boulder 7m SE of cairn and this is 0.6m lower than cairn base; ground 210m WNW at NY 62381 99766 is 1.2m lower.
The recorded summit point is cairn on mound. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

The Peel Fell group
4 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Peel Fell as the independent hill at its head.
| Summit | Height | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Carter Fell | 579 m | 102 m |
| Deadwater Fell | 569 m | 55 m |
| Wool Meath | 552 m | 49 m |
| Monkside | 513 m | 63 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.
