Lists Of Mountains In Ireland
In these lists of mountains in Ireland, those within Northern Ireland, or on the Republic of Ireland – United Kingdom 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 (e.g. the change in elevation required between neighbouring mountains), is noted. In British definitions, a height of is required for a mountain, whereas in Ireland, a lower threshold of is sometimes advocated. The lowest minimum prominence threshold of any definition of an Irish mountain is (e.g. the Vandeleur-Lynam), however most definitions, including the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) criteria, do not consider prominences below as being mountains (e.g. must at least be an Arderin or a Hewitt). Many British definitions consider a peak with a prominence below , as being a ''top'', and not a mountain (e.g. must be a Marilyn ...
