Cromlech (SH 365 924) – 30-99m Sub-Twmpau deletion
There has been a deletion to the list of 30-99m Twmpau, with the summit height, bwlch height and their locations, the drop and status of the hill derived from LIDAR analysis conducted by Myrddyn Phillips.

30-99m Twmpau – Welsh hills at or above 30m and below 100m in height that have 30m minimum drop, with an accompanying sub list entitled the 30-99m Sub-Twmpau with the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills at or above 30m and below 100m in height with 20m or more and below 30m of drop, with the word Twmpau being an acronym standing for thirty welsh metre prominences and upward.

When the original 30-99m height band of Welsh P30 hills were published on Geoff Crowder’s v-g.me website this hill was not included in the Hills to be surveyed sub list, as it was considered not to meet the criteria then used for this sub category.
After the sub list was standardised, and interpolated heights and drop values also included the details for this hill were re-evaluated and it was listed with an estimated c 21m of drop based on the 49m summit spot height and an estimated c 28m bwlch height, with the latter based on interpolation of 5m contouring between 25m – 30m that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map.

Therefore, the deletion of this hill from 30-99m Sub-Twmpau status is due to LIDAR analysis, resulting in a 47.95m summit height and a 28.1m bwlch height, with these values giving this hill 19.8m of drop, which is insufficient for it to be classified as a 30-99m Sub-Twmpau.
