From the Wikipedia article
Currock Hill is a hill on the border between Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, England. Although the summit itself lies entirely within Northumberland, the eastern top (at 259 m, or 850 ft) is the highest point in both Tyne and Wear and the metropolitan borough of Gateshead. The name "currock" comes from a Celtic word for a cairn or a stack of stones, a development of the word for a rock, carroc, and is still widely used in the North East.
