| Record Name | Harland Hill a glaciated landform with isolated drumlins well above 400m elevation. |
| Record Description | North and South Tarn Hills below Harland Hill are isolated drumlins at an elevation of 440m. Harland Hill itself has a very elegant glacial profile when viewed from the south. See photographs. |
| Dimensions | See photos |
| Additional Notes | This record supports the fact that glacial drumlins are present on the uppermost Dale Sides and on the High Pennine Plateau above 400m. When relatively small and isolated, these glacial mounds can readily be readily mistaken for round barrows |
