The Welsh P15s – Welsh hills with 15m minimum drop, irrespective of their height, with an accompanying sub list entitled the Welsh Sub-P15s, with the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills with 14m or more and below 15m of drop. The list is authored by Myrddyn Phillips, with the Introduction to the list appearing on Mapping Mountains on the 10th May 2019.

When the listing that became known as The Welsh P15s was being compiled, this hill was included in the P14 sub list with an estimated c 14m of drop, based on the 22m summit spot height that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map and an estimated c 8m bwlch height, based on interpolation of 5m contouring between 5m – 10m that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map.

Therefore, the deletion of this hill from Welsh Sub-P15 status is due to LIDAR analysis, resulting in a 22.1m summit height and a 9.8m bwlch height, with these values giving this hill 12.4m 0f drop, which is insufficient for it to be classified as a Welsh Sub-P15.
