A mountain surveyor says the line between the two countries has been wrongly traced on Ordnance Survey maps dating back to 1887.
A mountain surveyor claims the border between England and Wales has been incorrectly marked for more than a century - and England should be given more land.
Myrddyn Phillips says he has worked out that the line separating the two countries in the Black Mountains has been wrongly traced on Ordnance Survey maps dating back to 1887.
The current border follows the natural watershed - ridge of land - from the top of Twyn Llech.
But Mr Phillips said he and fellow surveyor Mark Trengrove remeasured the summit of the 703.5m (2,308ft) peak and found it to be further into Wales than thought.
