Pt. 88m (SH 311 869)
There has been a Significant Name Change to a hill that is listed in the 30-99m Twmpau and Y Trechol – The Dominant Hills of Wales, with the summit height, bwlch height and their locations, the drop, dominance and status of the hill derived from detail on contemporary maps produced from Ordnance Survey data.
The criteria for the two listings that this name change applies to are:
30-99m Twmpau - Welsh hills at or above 30m and below 100m in height with 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.

The hill appeared in the original 30-99m Welsh P30 list on Geoff Crowder’s v-g.me website under the transposed name of Maes Maethlu, which is a prominent name that appears near the summit of this hill on the contemporary Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map.
Maes Maethlu | 85c | SH311869 | 114 | 262 |
During my early hill listing I paid little regard to name placement on the map, or the meaning of names and to what feature the name was appropriately applied to. Therefore, I prioritised names for listing purposes that I now understand are either inappropriate or where another name is viewed as being more appropriate, with the previously listed name of Maes Maethlu applying to a street and not necessarily to the hill itself.

Therefore, the name this hill is now listed by in the 30-99m Twmpau and Y Trechol – The Dominant Hills of Wales is Pt. 88m, and this is being used as the author has not found an appropriate name for the hill either through historic research and / or local enquiry.
