There are currently 1554 Marilyns identified in , 180 in England , 156 in Wales and 5 on the Isle Of Man . ( Black Mountain is in both England and Wales.) There are a further 453 Marilyns in Ireland . The list of Marilyns in Britain was compiled by Alan Dawson in his book "The Relative Hills of Britain" (ISBN 1852840684). The list continues to change as the Ordnance Survey bring out new maps with revised heights for hills and the passes between them. Many of the largest hills are Marilyns, including Ben Nevis , Scafell Pike and Snowdon . On the other hand, many large hills, including some which are classed as Munro s, and other well-known hills such as Bowfell , the Langdale Pikes , and Carnedd Dafydd , are not Marilyns because the relative height criteria for Marilyns means that they do not qualify. However, some infrequently visited or minor fells such as Seatallan and Watch Hill on the edges of Lakeland , and The Long Mynd in Shropshire , do qualify because of their large relative height. Marilyns tend to be sidelined in Scotland by the existence of several other systems, e.g. Graham , Donald , Corbett and Munro . SEE ALSO
