Cae Coch (SJ 137 066)
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 invented and transposed name of Pen y Hafod Seller, with an accompanying note stating; Name from buildings to the South-East.

During my early hill listing I thought it appropriate to either invent a name for a hill, or use a name that appeared near to the summit of the hill on Ordnance Survey maps of the day. My preference was to use farm names and put Pen, Bryn or Moel in front of them or as in this instance transpose the name of a farm and prefix it with the words Pen y. This is not a practice that I now advocate as with time and inclination place-name data can be improved either by asking local people or by examining historic documents, through this form of research an appropriate name for the hill can usually be found.
