    From the Wikipedia page:

    A. D. Mills in his Dictionary of English Place-Names interprets the name as “Ridge of the hill with a rocky peak”, giving its etymology as Old English torr, Celtic *penn, and Old English hoh, each of which mean ‘hill’. Thus, the name Torpenhow Hill could be interpreted as ‘hill-hill-hill Hill’.

    I think it’s a hill?
