Etymology
as much akin
As Lewson hill to Pilson Pen (apparently used of places very different from one another). The comparison is with nearby Lewesdon Hill in Broadwindsor par. supra , q. v. for another interesting observation (in 1774 Hutch1) that the two hills served as sea-marks for mariners and were known to them as the Cow and Calf
