Not really,the name just came to me as I was discussing the face in the rock with my wife.This is another example of a glacial erratic which can be found on Twistleton Scar in the Yorkshire Dales.Once again, Ingleborough can be seen in the background.

What a wonderful find, view and description, Peter! Definitely not a happy rock, maybe with the glacial movement it got separated from its mates, hence the 'pout'.

Great composition, always fascinating to think that it might have been stuck in ice for a long time.

I think these large erratics in the UK and Ireland are very cool - nice shot.
