Sub-Dochartys
Sub Docharty - Docharty's objective was to list all points on the 1 inch O.S. Maps with a minimum requirement for a 'Top' being one 50-foot contour, for Ireland the minimum was one 100-foot contour. However Docharty decided that some of the heights marked on the map, which on being visited did not appear to have sufficient individuality to qualify as 'Tops' so these were included under a Remarks column in respect of Scotland and Ireland and a fifth column in respect of Wales and England for Part 1 and under a Remarks column for Part 2. None of these added through to Docharty’s Summary Tables.
Also included within subs are 'tops' or eminences unrecorded on the maps but identified by Docharty while on excursion.
The lists are defined by the original publications and is not subject to revision.
Each of the four constituents of the British Isles are included: Scotland 533 summits, Ireland 25, Wales 41 and England 89, totalling 688.
