Cae’r Block (SJ 115 067)
There has been a Significant Name Change to a hill that is listed in the 200m Twmpau, with the summit height, bwlch height and their locations, the drop and status of the hill confirmed by LIDAR analysis and a subsequent Trimble GeoXH 6000 survey conducted by Myrddyn Phillips.

200m Twmpau - Welsh hills at or above 200m and below 300m in height with 30m
minimum drop, with an accompanying sub list entitled the 200m Sub-Twmpau with
the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills at or above 200m and
below 300m 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 200m Welsh P30 list on Geoff Crowder’s v-g.me website under the transposed name of Cil-yr-ych, which is a prominent name that appears north-eastward of this hill’s summit on the contemporary Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map.
Cil-yr-ych | 233m | SJ116067 | 125 | 215/239 |
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.
