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.

The Separate Mountains
The idea behind the list is that a summit needs more drop to feel 'separate' in a highly dissected area than it would on a plateau.
A summit needs to be over 600m height and have 90, 100, 120 or 150m of drop to qualify, depending on how dissected an area is. Dissectedness is calculated by counting the number of segments each hill group is split into by the 400m contour and dividing this by the number of 10km grid squares it covers. The list was originally compiled in 1974 from OS 1 inch maps, metricated from 1976-82 as second series metric maps came out, then adjusted in 2023 using data from the DoBIH.
