Rowley's Hill is a hill in Cambridgeshire, near the villages of Harston and Newton.[1] Although of only moderate height (Template:Cvt), it has a relatively large prominence of Template:Cvt due to it being surrounded on all sides by a 'moat' of much lower land.[2] It therefore stands separate from the other hills in the region and has a distinctive appearance.
The hill has a north east top, St Margaret's Mount, Maggot's Mount[3] or Maggots Mound[4] (Template:Coord). On top of this is a grade II listed obelisk. It is a memorial to Gregory Wale, of Little Shelford, of the eighteenth century.[3][4]
