A second shorter ridge descends steadily to the south west over gradually roughening ground, until after 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) a rock outcrop is thrust up.

This bears evidence of former mining activities, beginning at around 600 feet (180 m) above sea level with a trial.

[2] To the north west of Stone Arthur is the valley of Tongue Gill, separating it from the lower slopes of Seat Sandal.

[1] Stone Arthur is most commonly ascended from a path turning left immediately after passing through the gate giving access to Greenhead Gill, repaired in recent years, this path rises steeply before crossing the breast of the fell below Stone Arthur, and recent the summit rocks from the south.

Beginning at Mill Bridge, Tongue Gill can be followed until the footbridge, before making a pathless ascent on grass.
