Banc Garreg Winau (SN 562 414)
There has been a Significant Name Change to a hill that is listed in the Y Trichant – The 300m Hills of Wales, with the summit height, bwlch height and their locations, the drop and status of the hill derived from detail on contemporary maps produced from Ordnance Survey data.
The criteria for the list that this name change applies to are:
Y Trichant
– The 300m Hills of Wales – Welsh hills
at or above 300m and below 400m in height that have 30m minimum drop, with an accompanying sub list entitled the
Sub-Trichant, with the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills at
or above 300m and below 400m in height with 20m or more and below 30m of
drop. The list is authored by Myrddyn Phillips with the
Introduction to the list and the renaming of it appearing on Mapping Mountains
on the 13th May 2017, and the Introduction to the Mapping Mountains
publication of the list appearing on the 1st January 2022.

Since the original publication of the Welsh P30 lists on Geoff Crowder’s v-g.me website there have been a number of maps made available online. Some of these are historic such as the series of Six-Inch maps on the National Library of Scotland website. Whilst others were digitally updated such as the Ordnance Survey Vector Map Local that was hosted on the Geograph website and which was entitled the Interactive Coverage Map, whilst others are current and digitally updated such as the interactive mapping on the Magic Maps and WalkLakes websites, and it is the Ordnance Survey series of Six-Inch maps that give the name of Banc Garreg Winau near the summit of this hill complimenting its position on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map.
