Hill Names - Black Mountain (Part 10)
(continued from Part 9). So there you are, hopefully the use of the name 'Black Mountain' for the 703m hill at SO255354 has been cast into oblivion never to appear again. It's unfortunate but understandable how the name 'Black Mountain' was first used and then how each subsequent hill list author perpetuated its use. But 'Twyn Llech' translated as 'Hill of the Slab or Stone' is a fine name deserving recognition. Let's hope the name is now used for this hill. However, this does prompt the question of hill name usage for the 637m hill at SO266322, but that's another message board posting in the waiting. I'm all hill named out at the moment, so I'm going to take a few days off!! Hope some of this can be of help.
