The
Welsh P15s – Summit Relocations
The Welsh P15s are all Welsh
hills that have a minimum of 15m of drop, irrespective of their height. Accompanying the main P15 list is a sub list
entitled; The Welsh Sub-P15s, with the qualification to this sub category being
all Welsh hills with 14m or more and below 15m of drop.
The list is authored by Myrddyn
Phillips and the posts that have appeared on Mapping Mountains detailing the summit
relocations to the main P15 list and the sub list that are below P20 and
therefore documented in other lists, appear below presented chronologically in
receding order.

The Welsh P15s by Myrddyn Phillips |
When the listing that became known as The Welsh P15s was being compiled, this hill was listed with 25m of drop, based on the 77m summit spot height positioned at SH 43598 92043 on or near to a covered reservoir, that appeared on the Ordnance Survey Vector Map Local hosted on the Geograph website and which was entitled the Interactive Coverage Map and the 52m bwlch spot height that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger map.

The term Summit Relocations applies when the hill’s high point is found to be positioned; in a different field, within a different map contour, to a different feature such as in a conifer plantation, to a different point where a number of potential summit positions are within close proximity, a relocation of approximately 100 metres or more in distance from either the position of a map spot height or from where the summit of the hill was previously thought to exist, or when natural ground or the natural and intact summit is confirmed compared to a higher point such as a raised field boundary that is judged to be a relatively recent man-made construct.
Therefore, the summit height produced by LIDAR analysis is 74.0m and this is positioned at SH 43593 92022, this position is not given a spot height on contemporary Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger and 1:25,000 Explorer maps, and is approximately 20 metres southward from where the 77m spot height appeared on the Ordnance Survey Vector Map Local hosted on the Geograph website and which was entitled the Interactive Coverage Map.

The Welsh P15s by Myrddyn Phillips |
When the listing that became known as The Welsh P15s was being compiled, this hill was listed with an estimated c 23m of drop, based on an estimated c 90m summit height positioned at SH 34812 87943 and an estimated c 67m bwlch height, with both heights based on interpolation of 5m contouring that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map, with the 85m upper summit contour mistaken for 90m.

The summit height produced by LIDAR analysis is 85.4m and is positioned at SH 34917 88259, and this comes within the parameters of the Summit Relocations used within this page heading, these parameters are:
