The 'names' look like someone's field notes: 'Tarn A', 'Tarn B', 'Tarn C', 'Tarn Off the Map', 'Tarn Off the Trail', rather than something that the locals would call them.
Of course, people's field notes leak into imported data sources all the time. For the sake of not firing the first shot in an edit war, since the mapper is responsive, ask if there's any objection to removing the questionable names?
