"North Preston Hill", if it wins its height rivalry with Preston Hill in New York State, is the most prominent point in Connecticut. Since the 1450-foot contour on North Preston Hill is larger than the tiny one on Preston Hill, this site assumes that it is higher than its neighbor and wins the 880 feet of prominence for its massif.
