Quarry Field (SJ 183 147)
There has been a Significant Name Change to a hill that is listed in the 100m 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.
Quarry Field (SJ 183 147) |
100m Twmpau - Welsh hills at or above 100m and below 200m in height with 30m
minimum drop, with an accompanying sub list entitled the 100m Sub-Twmpau with
the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills at or above 100m and
below 200m 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 100m Twmpau by Myrddyn Phillips |
When the original 100m 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-assessed and it was listed under the point (Pt. 109m) notation with an estimated c 22m of drop, based on the 109m summit spot height that appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer map and an estimated c 87m bwlch height, based on interpolation of 10m contouring between 80m – 90m.
