There has been an addition to the listing of Twmpau (thirty welsh metre prominences and upward) hills due in part to a recent survey with the Trimble GeoXH 6000. The hill is listed in the 30m-99m height band of Twmpau hills and is situated in the town of Cricieth.
Its P30 status was first discovered by Alex
Cameron who rightly judged that with a 48m summit spot height which appears on
the Ordnance Survey enlarged mapping hosted on the Geograph website, and with bwlch
contouring between c 15m – c 20m, with an estimated bwlch height of c 18m, this
hill should be listed as a P30 with c 30m of drop.
The hill is Castell Cricieth which as its name
implies has a castle on top of it.
This hill is one of the rarities that have not
appeared in previous Sub-Lists before its entrance as a fully-fledged P30.
