|---|---|---|
| Y Groes Fagl | 659 m | 16 m |
| Foel Cwm-Sian Llwyd | 648 m | 58 m |
| Pen y Boncyn Trefeilw | 644 m | 55 m |

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
