The Myrddyn Deweys are hills in Ireland with a height between 500-609m and prominence of 30m. The list was researched by Michael Dewey and Myrddyn Phillips and was made freely available to the Mountaineering Council of Ireland in 2000. In 2011 the data was re-examined against the latest mapping. [...] There are 200 Myrddyn Deweys.

  • "A funny name for a mountain". Mark Horrell. 4 June 2014. I explained how these five ridge tops couldn't possibly be classified as 8000m peaks in their own right because each of them requires less than 135 metres of re-ascent between their respective parent peaks, Kangchenjunga and Lhotse (known as topographic prominence). It seems that where logic and common sense fail the NMA feels that flattery may work instead.

However, over the years DoBIH evolved into something much bigger with six editors and many hillwalkers supplying data.

  • Alan Dawson; Rob Woodall; Jonathan de Ferranti (2006). "THE BRITISH ISLES COMBINED LIST FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM AND REPUBLIC OF IRELAND". Previously available lists used a cutoff of 2,000 feet (609.6 meters). The 2000 foot cutoff would result in a total of 111 mountains: 90 for Great Britain, 1 for the Isle of Man, and 20 for Ireland. By lowering the cutoff to 600 meters (in order to be consistent with upcoming lists for Europe), we now reach a total of 119 mountains, including 93 for Great Britain, 1 on Man, and 25 in Ireland.

  • Jim Bloomer; Roddy Urquhart (2018). "Principles of Peak Classification". ProminentPeaks.org.uk. The UK and Ireland are a family of islands, so the issue of plateau areas does not arise. The authors have concluded that good criteria for the UK are a minimum height of 500 metres and prominence of 100 metres. This is the basis for the UK Prominent Peaks database.

  • As of October 2018, the Irish MountainViews Online Database lists the prominence of Knockbrinnea (W) as 29m, and Carrignabinnia as 27 m, and thus they do not qualify as Irish Arderins, which means that MountainViews does not classify these two peaks as Hewitts or Simms; the total number of Irish Arderins over 2,000 ft is thus 207. The DoBIH however uses the Harvey Tables which list the prominence for both at 30 m, and thus the DoBIH class them as Irish Hewitts and Simms, giving 209 Irish Hewitts and 224 Irish Simms on the DoBIH tables.
