Can we all just agree that 'Thundersbarrow Hill' is the the MOST metal / D&D name for a landscape feature you could imagine!

So much so, any work there (archaeological or otherwise) must be termed as "A Quest"

Hard Agree. Although I am dissapointed everytime I visit that a) it doesn't look like Weathertop and b) no Nazgūl

I'm getting Jethro Tull vibes here. When you get to the top there's a man in motley standing on one leg and playing a flute.

Doubt the Waterboys fall enough into the 'prog' net, but this one namechecks more than a few sites (along with the eponymous Tor of course)
