The
Fours – The 400m Hills of England
400m
Sub-Fours
The
Fours are the English hills at or above 400m and below 500m in
height that have a minimum drop of 30m.
The list’s initial compilation was completed in November 2002 and
entitled The 400m Peaks of England and
was first published on 19th December 2002 on the RHB Yahoo Group
file database along with the equivalent Welsh and Manx hills, with the file
entitled the 400m hills of England, Isle
of Man and Wales, this file was uploaded by Rob Woodall who later augmented
data from Clem Clements into the database.
The original publication on the RHB Yahoo Group file
database was later duplicated en masse by Mark Jackson without prior
consultation with, or even notification to the author, with these data forming
the equivalent part of the Tumps and with this act resulting in years of undue
data divergence that is ongoing.
Over subsequent years the listing now known as The Fours has been published on the
Europeaklist website (15th December 2013) available as a downloadable
e-booklet and print-booklet version and on the Haroldstreet website (6th
January 2014) available as GPS Waypoints, Google mapping and online hill
bagging tick lists.
The original compilation included a sub-list of hills entitled
‘Hills to be surveyed’ which was later re-evaluated and included in the Europeaklist
and Haroldstreet publications. This sub list
comprised all hills identified from map study that were at or above 400m and
below 500m in height and if surveyed for drop stood a chance of qualifying for
the main P30 list. At the time of
compilation the spot heights on Ordnance Survey maps were taken at face value
as the margin of uncertainty applicable to the surveying method that
ascertained them was unknown at the time.
Therefore if a hill was given a drop value of 29m from its summit and col
spot heights it was not included in this ‘Hills to be surveyed’ sub list as it
was deemed not to warrant a survey for inclusion into the main P30 list as the
map had given it 29m of drop. This sub
list has now been standardised and comprises all English hills that are at or
above 400m and below 500m in height and have 20m or more and below 30m of drop,
the name of this sub list is the 400m
Sub-Fours.
It wasn’t until the interest shown by Mark Trengove for this
list to be published by Europeaklist that the 400m Sub-Fours were fully re-evaluated, with the subsequent
publication on 15th December 2013 entitled The Fours and leading the way to the list becoming co-authored with
Aled Williams. After the 6th
January 2014 publication of The Fours
by Phil Newby on his Haroldstreet website all future updates to the list have
been catalogued on the Mapping Mountains site.
Since its original publication The Fours has changed greatly as the list is now co-authored with
Aled Williams, and although the criteria has remained the same for the main P30
list, the criteria for the 400m Sub-Fours
has now been standardised, and the numerical data benefits from the advent
of accurate surveys conducted with GPS / GNSS receiver, an expanded range of
Ordnance Survey maps available online and most recently, by analysis of LIDAR
data enabling greater accuracy for numerical data. However, it is not just numerical data that
has seen this list develop since its first inception, it is also place-name
data, and it was because of this and their mutual interest in hill lists that
the authors first corresponded. The
listing is also gaining in popularity as there are now two known completers of The Fours with another 38 people having
completed 100 or more of these hills.
It seems fitting that the list of The Fours – The 400m Hills of England – 400m Sub-Fours should now
benefit from a detailed Change Register, and although the updates to this list
have been catalogued since its first inception in 2002, it is prudent for this
Change Register to initially detail the changes to this sub list since the December
2013 publication by Europeaklist.
The Change Register to The
Fours – The 400m Hills of England – 400m Sub-Fours appears below with the
reclassifications to the list being detailed chronologically in receding order.

The
addition of this hill to 400m Sub-Four status was announced on Mapping
Mountains with a retrospective Hill Reclassifications post published on the 13.03.24. The hill was previously listed with 19m of drop, based on the 403m summit spot height
that appears on the contemporary Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map and the
384m col spot height that appeared on the Ordnance Survey Vector Map Local
hosted on the Geograph website and which was entitled the Interactive Coverage
Map. Its addition is due to LIDAR
analysis conducted by Myrddyn Phillips, resulting in a 404.1m summit height and
a 383.5m col height, with these values giving this hill 20.6m of drop. 400m Sub-Four total increases by one and confirmed as 152.

The hill was previously listed as a 400m Sub-Four with an estimated c 26m of drop, based on an estimated c 483m summit height ascertained from an optical survey taken from the summit area of Baystones (486.9m at NY 40312 05143) which concluded that Wansfell Pike is at least 4m lower, and an estimated c 457m col height based on 10m contouring between 450m – 460m that appear on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map. The reclassification of this hill is due to the analysis of data on the OS Maps website, coupled with information in the OS Trig Database and LIDAR summit analysis. One of the resources recently available online is the mapping on the OS Maps website, this is the replacement for OS Get-a-map and until recent times had contours at 5m intervals which were proving consistently more accurate compared to the 5m contours that sometimes appear on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map and used to appear on the online Vector Map Local. This mapping had col contouring between 450m – 455m, with interpolation placing the height of the col as an estimated c 453 - c 454. The OS Trig Database records the position of a buried block at the summit of this hill with a height of 483.717m, with initial LIDAR summit analysis giving a height of 483.7m, and when coupled with the estimated col height these values gave this hill an estimated c 30m of drop. With the reclassification subsequently confirmed by a Leica GS15 survey conducted by John Barnard, Jim Bloomer and Graham Jackson and analysis of full LIDAR coverage conducted by Myrddyn Phillips, resulting in a 484.3m summit height and a 453.5m col height, with these values giving this hill 30.8m of drop. 400m Sub-Four total decreases by one and confirmed as 149.

The deletion of this hill from 400m Sub-Four status was announced when the 2nd edition of The Fours - The 400m Hills of England was published on the 24.04.18 by Mapping Mountains Publications, with a Hill Reclassifications post appearing on Mapping Mountains on the 04.07.18. The hill was previously listed with an estimated c 20m of drop, based on the 404m summit spot height that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1;25,000 Explorer map and an estimated c 384m col height based on interpolation of 10m contouring between 380m – 390m. This deletion is due to analysis of data on the OS Maps website, which is the recent replacement for OS Get-a-map. This mapping has 5m contour intervals resulting in an estimated c 16m of drop. The deletion of this hill has subsequently been confirmed by LIDAR analysis resulting in a 403.6m summit height and a 385.1m col height, with these values giving this hill 18.6m of drop. 400m Sub-Four total decreases by one and confirmed as 150.

The reclassification of this hill to Four status was announced when the 2nd edition of The Fours was published by Mapping Mountains Publications on the 24.04.18, with a Hill Reclassifications post appearing on Mapping Mountains on the 22.06.18. The hill was previously listed as a 400m Sub-Four with an estimated c 28m of drop based on the 465m summit spot height that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map and an estimated c 437m col height, based on interpolation of 10m contouring between 430m – 440m. The initial reclassification of this hill is due to analysis of data on the OS Maps website, which is the recent replacement for OS Get-a-map, with confirmation from subsequent LIDAR analysis conducted by Myrddyn Phillips. The mapping on the OS Maps website has 5m contour intervals resulting in this hill being listed with an estimated c 32m of drop based on the 465m summit spot height and an estimated c 433m col height. The confirmation of this reclassification is due to LIDAR analysis, resulting in a 465.1m summit height and a 433.1m col height, with these values giving this hill 32.1m of drop, which is sufficient for it to be classified to Four status. 400m Sub-Four total decreases by one and confirmed as 151.

The deletion of this hill from 400m Sub-Four status was announced when the 2nd edition of The Fours - The 400m Hills of England was published by Mapping Mountains Publications on the 24.04.18, with a Hill Reclassifications post appearing on Mapping Mountains on the 07.06.18. The hill was previously listed with an estimated c 21m of drop, based on a 435m summit height and an estimated c 414m col height, with the latter based on interpolation of 10m contouring between 410m - 420m. The 435m summit height was taken from what was presumed to be a 1,427ft (434.954m) height that appeared on the Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 map. However, the last figure of the imperial height was blurred and a ? was added to the hand written notes accompanying the listing of this hill. The Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 series of maps has this figure as 1,421ft (433.126m). Its deletion is due to LIDAR analysis initially conducted by Aled Williams and subsequently by Myrddyn Phillips, resulting in a 432.8m summit height and a 413.4m col height, with these values giving this hill 19.3m of drop, which is insufficient for it to retain its 400m Sub-Four status. 400m Sub-Four total decreases by one and confirmed as 151.

Cold Stones c 417m at SE 123 636
THIS
HILL HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN RECLASSIFIED TO FOUR STATUS
The addition of this hill to 400m Sub-Four status was dependent upon re-interpolation of Ordnance
Survey map data coupled with studying Aerial maps and Google Street View, with
its addition announced when the 2nd edition of The Fours was published on Mapping Mountains Publications on the
24.04.18, with a Hill Reclassifications post published on Mapping Mountains on the 13.05.18. The hill once
qualified as a P30, but due to quarrying activity its drop value was estimated
to be c 12m with details to it appearing in Appendix I in the 1st
edition of The Fours (Europeaklist
December 2013), however these details have been re-evaluated and the hill is
now listed with an estimated summit height of c 417m and a col height of 491m,
with these values giving this hill c 26m of drop, which is sufficient for it to
be classified as a 400m Sub-Four. 400m
Sub-Four total increases by one and confirmed as 156.
