I was searching BaseCamp for Scafell and it showed this.

 

If I search Pub Pil I get lots of finds. I dont know what it means.

It's a stupid question, but I'm in the know!

For those not in the know, it's not a stupid question!

 

It's the Triangulation Piller on Sca Fell. The numbers (S1537) are the numbers used by Ordnace Survey to identify that particular trig.

 

Linky for more information.

It makes a little more sense if you know that, in the UK, "fell" means a moor or a highland plateau.

True, but it's really confined to Northern England though. It's an anglicization of the Scandinavian word fjäll which means mountain. There are many other examples of Scandinavian words appearing in the names of features, or village names in that part of the world. It's all the Vikings' fault, you see
