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.

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:
