This is a list of Irish counties by their highest point. These are most commonly known as county high points but are also sometimes referred to as county tops and county peaks.[1][2] There are 32 counties in Ireland, but in the case of 10 counties, marked with (‡), the highest point is shared between two counties, so there are only 27 distinct Irish county high points. This list is generated from the Irish MountainViews Online Database (October 2018 edition), and the overall ranking of an Irish County High Point against all other peaks in Ireland, is based on the Vandeleur-Lynam definition where a peak must have a minimum topographic prominence of 15 metres (49 ft) to be on the list of peaks in Ireland.[3] The four Irish provincial tops, more also referred to as province high points,[1][4] are also listed. The listings of Irish county high points under the definitions of Irish mountains (e.g. Furths, Marilyn, Arderins), are also provided.

The list of Irish county and provincial high points contains four of Ireland's five Real Munros, and 14 of Ireland's 25 P600 "Major" mountains.

Ireland's County High Points is one of 16 sub-lists which together comprise the complete list of 188 Irish major geographical high points.[5][1]

Notes


  1. MountainViews was created in 2002 by Simon Stewart as a non-profit online database for climbers in Ireland to document and catalogue their Irish climbs.[6] Its main data feed is taken from the Ordnance Survey Ireland ("OSI"), however, it also integrates other established Irish mountain databases such as the Paul Tempan Logainm Irish Placenames Database.[7] Collins Press published its Online Datase in 2013 in the book: A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins.[8] MountainViews is also partnered with the important Database of British and Irish Hills ("DoBIH"), which is the main live database for the categorisation of mountains and hills in the British Isles.
  2. Ranking of the mountain or hill in this table of Ireland's highest County Tops
  3. Ranking used by the Irish MountainViews Online Database against all Irish mountains or hills, and based on the Vandeleur-Lynam classification requiring a peak to be at least 15 metres (49 ft) in prominence.
  4. This is not topographic isolation, but is the distance to the nearest mountain of any height, but with a minimum prominence of 15 metres (49 ft), as per the Irish MountainViews Online Database
