Definitions

General concepts

There is no consensus on the definition of "mountain", but in Britain and Ireland it is often taken to be a summit over 2,000 ft, or more latterly, 600 m. There is less consensus about the

requirement (e.g. the change in elevation required between neighbouring mountains), which can vary between . Prominence is even strongly debated regarding

Main classifications

Other classifications

The term Dillon is used to describe any of the 212 Irish summits in Paddy Dillon's well–regarded Irish 2010 climbing guidebook: "The Mountains of Ireland". All of Dillon's summits are over , and almost all have a prominence above (i.e. they are very similar to the list of 209 Irish Hewitts). The term Myrddyn Deweys are peaks in Ireland, between 500 metres to in height, with a

However, many of its peaks do not meet all classification criteria for a "mountain" (e.g. particularly the in elevation change from neighbouring mountains), and many are not in the ''100 Highest Irish Mountains''.

''100 Highest Irish Mountains''

(any height, prominence over 100 m) This is the MountainViews ''100 Highest Irish Mountains'' list, which was published by Collins Press in the 2013 book: ''A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins''. It combines Paul Tempan's 2012 research into Irish mountains and Irish mountain names.

(the 222 Arderins over are the 222–224 Irish Simms). The 199 Arderins below are the Myrddyn Deweys (e.g. the total of the 207 Irish Hewitts and the 199 Myrddyn Deweys equal the 406 Irish Arderins). MountainView's Online Database of Arderins was published by Collins Press in the 2013 book: ''A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins'', and updated in 2015. In 2023, the MountainView Online Database listed 409 Irish mountains as meeting the Arderin definition. Several of the MountainViews.ie users have recorded completing the entire list of Arderins. One user having completed the Arderins within one single year (2014) along with the complete list of Vandeleur-Lynams, county highpoints and the highest 100 list. MountainViews uses the term Arderin Begs for the additional class of peaks over in height, and with a prominence between . In 2018, Ireland had 124 Arderin Begs.

List of ''274 Irish Vandeleur-Lynams''

(height above 600 m, prominence over 15 m) The broadest noted definition of an Irish mountain over is the Vandeleur-Lynam list, as it only requires a prominence of , and is the Irish fully metric equivalent of the England & Wales Nuttall. The ''100 Highest Irish Mountains'' from above, is a ''subset'' of this list (e.g. they are all Vandeleur-Lynams). For example, Mweelrea, the highest mountain in Connacht, is 16th on the ''100 Highest Irish Mountains'' list, but 34th on the Vandeleur-Lynam list. MountainView's Online Database of Vandeleur-Lynams was published by Collins Press in the 2013 book: ''A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins'', and updated in 2015. In 2023, the MountainView Online Database listed 275 Irish mountains as meeting the Vandeleur-Lynam definition. On 3 October 2018, English

This record was in turn broken in 2024 by Kerryman Sean Clifford who scaled all 275 peaks in 21 days, 2 hours, and 46 minutes.

Ranking of Irish mountains in Ireland and Britain

Whereas the MountainViews, Vandeleur-Lynam, and Arderin classifications are unique to Ireland, Irish mountains appear in other similar classifications that have been used in across Britain and Ireland.

Simms

The Britain and Ireland Simms classification (height over 600 m, and prominence above 30 m), is very similar to the Irish Arderin classification (height over 500 m, and prominence over 30 m). , the 2,754 Simms in Britain and Ireland, which include 224 Irish Simms (i.e. the Irish Arderins over 600 m), are ranked by height, and by prominence, on this table: *

Marilyns

The popular Britain and Ireland Marilyn classification (any height, and prominence above 150 m), is a more severe prominence threshold than the Irish Mountainviews classification (height over 500 m, and prominence over 100 m). , the 2,011 Marilyns in Britain and Ireland, which include 454 Irish Marilyns (e.g. the amount is larger because Marilyns will take any height, as long as the peak meets the prominence threshold), are ranked by prominence, and by height, here (note that this list is commonly used to rank by prominence, as it includes any peak with prominence above 150 m): *
