Hill of Gouach (7B, LR45)
Richard Webb: Not knowing about its status (149m drop), so not looking for trouble, I visited both the highpoints marked on the orienteering map before a descent to the control. There was definitely a little downhill to the cairn on the knoll which corresponds with the 337m summit height on the Explorer map. There are three knolls that are candidates for the summit. I think the eastern one is the highest, the western one is the OS top and the middle one is much lower than the eastern one. The hill needs a careful visit to be sure. I am not making a claim, but flagging up the possibility of promotion; I was running, not surveying. Although I did not visit the OS-marked cairn, I am happy to claim the summit, satisfied that I visited the highest point (the eastern knoll).
