These are lists of mountains and mountain ranges in Ireland. Those within Northern Ireland, or on the border, are marked with an asterisk, while the rest are within the Republic of Ireland. Where mountains are ranked by height, the definition of the "topographical prominence", used to classify the mountain, is noted. In British definitions, a height of 600 metres (1,969 ft) is required for a "mountain", whereas in Ireland, a lower threshold of 500 metres (1,640 ft) is sometimes advocated.
A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit.
St. Fintan's Cemetery is located in Sutton, on the south side of Carrickbrack Road in Dublin, Ireland. It is in two parts: one older, with a ruined keeper's cottage and the remnants of old St. Fintan's Church; one newer, and actively used, lower down the hill. Just beyond the older portion is the still-flowing, still-visited St. Fintan's Holy Well.
The mountains and hills of the British Isles are categorised into lists based on elevation, prominence, and other criteria. These lists are used for peak bagging, whereby hillwalkers attempt to reach all the summits on a list, the oldest and best-known, being the 282 § Munros in Scotland, which amongst other criteria, must be above 3,000 feet (914.4 m).
