Well, I believe I found the elusive Roman soldier's head and it's shadow. In full sunlight: Nikon D3, Nikkor 24-120 f4: 46mm, 1/1600sec at f8, ISO800  Just before sunset: Nikon D3, Nikkor 70-300 f4.5-5.6: 170mm, 1/400sec at f6.3, ISO800  It was a lovely day yesterday so after a frustrated morning, I threw down my welding torch and headed for the hills. If it IS Cam Crag, then I can see where it gets it's name. A cam stone is one term for rounded topped stones used for capping walls. The top if the 'head' is nicely rounded and resembles the profile I would expect for a cam stone. The original article in the Guardian which I linked to in the first post of this thread and raised my interest in this, was pointing his camera at the wrong lump of rock, it seems... Checking out the images I am convinced this is the rock outcrop I was seeking, This image, taken by Henry Iddon with a ten by eight full plate camera was what started this whole project for me.  Even the OS map seems to confirm it:

It looks like a nose and a chin well seen!

If a rather large ear, which is more prominent to the eye than in the photograph. I saw it as soon as I rounded the corner which revealed the screes, the light was just right. I will return, now I have identified it, I'm sure under different lighting it will present differing characteristics.

Looks like you have it well located Robert. I do think someone must have had a full bottle of whisky and were seeing things when some of these things were named.

I think there must be something wong with my computer, it doesn't always mark threads with the triangle to denote a new (unread) post. I agree JK, perhaps some magic mushroom? I hope to re-visit later in the year to get a range of lighting on the crag. Still working on the front room atm hopeful of getting out this next week. Skye would be nice but it will be knee deep in tourists with their phone cameras, as of course the Lake District will too.
