Geography


The 184-metre (604 ft) high hill stands 4 km west of Dingle in an isolated position in the short peninsula dividing Dingle Harbour from the Atlantic Ocean.[citation needed]

The top of the hill hosts the Eask Tower, a solid stone tower built in 1847.[3] It offers a view on a long stretch of Dingle Peninsula and Iveragh Peninsula.[4]


Name


The English meaning of Cnoc na Ceathrún is hill of the quarter.[5]


Access to the summit


The walk which leads up to the summit takes 1.6 km from the asphalted road. Due to the very interesting panorama it's advisable to choose a clear day for it.[3]
