SSE ship + SSE hill
Rising to only 14 m, this little group of sandy hillocks nevertheless stands out markedly from the surrounding coastal flatland. There is no other land rising to this height until nearly 2 km inland. It was probably therefore so named on account of its resemblance to a ship or ships on an expanse of sea. It may be compared to nearby Vesselhills # FGN, shown on Ainslie/Fife (1775) at around NO464268, in similar terrain.
