Pt. 452.4m (SJ 229 443) - 400m Sub-Pedwar addition

There has been a new addition to the 400m Sub-Pedwar ranks through a recent survey with the Trimble GeoXH 6000.  As research via local enquiry and historical documents has not, as of yet, found an appropriate name for the hill, it is being listed by the point (Pt. 452.4m) notation.  The hill is Pt 452.4m (SJ 229 443) and it is situated in the Moel y Gamelin range of hills on the southerly ridge of Mynydd Eglwyseg (SJ 231 464).

The hill will be added to the Y Pedwarau list in the 2^nd edition that will hopefully be published by Europeaklist.  The list of Pedwar hills is also available from the Haroldstreet website.
