Derived Irish hill lists

For an Irish summit or High Point list to be classed as 'derived', 50% or more of its locations will have qualified for inclusion from simply having met the criteria of at least one earlier source list. Each of the following compilations is composed mainly of locations imported from third-party original source lists through the processes of duplication, extraction, merging and overlapping.

Irish Championship Summits

Derived entirely from the Irish Marilyns, Irish Hewitts, Irish Humps, 500-Meter Tops of Ireland, 400-Metre Tops of Ireland, and Ireland's Major Geographical High Points. This list is identical to the Irish Sport Hillwalking Locations list below but with the 7 non-summit High Points excluded. Full merger.

Binnions

Derived entirely from the Irish Marilyns and Irish Humps. Subset.

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists
Extracted by Simon Stewart
On very rare occasions, an amateur topographical survey carried out by Stewart and his associates or the review of a newly-published map will result in the amendment of a location's Binnion status. The small number of such promotions and demotions that have occurred so far or have the potential to occur in the future will never be enough to alter the fact that this is a 100% derived list.

With a score of 0 points, this list ranks joint 21st among the 25 All-Ireland hill lists

Arderins

Derived entirely from the Vandeleur-Lynams, Irish Hewitts, and 500-Metre Tops of Ireland. Full duplication and merger.

Carns

Derived entirely from the 400-Metre Tops of Ireland which had been compiled by Myrddyn Phillips. Full duplication.

Duplicated by Simon Stewart
On very rare occasions, an amateur topographical survey carried out by Stewart and his associates or the review of a newly-published map will result in the amendment of a location's Carn status. The small number of such promotions and demotions that have occurred so far or have the potential to occur in the future will never be enough to alter the fact that this is a 100% derived list.
The Carns list is a straight copy and renaming of the 400-Metre Tops of Ireland list. For this reason, the Carns has the lowest ranking among all the Irish hillwalking lists.

With a score of -1 point, this list ranks 25th among the 25 All-Ireland hill lists

Hillwalking in Ireland

Support us (at no cost)

Our website is a 100% free resource for all to view without having to pay any subscription fees or being asked for donations. We cover all the costs of running and maintaining the website ourselves on a voluntary basis. And we do all of this purely for our love of walking in Ireland. The long-term development strategy for The Ireland Walking Guide website will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. In the meantime, here are some zero-cost, zero-time ways in which you can support the ongoing development of The Ireland Walking Guide and its growing family of independent Irish information websites.

Walking initiatives

We have developed the widest possible selection of meaningful initiatives to promote recreational walking in Ireland. These are delivered across The Ireland Walking Guide and High Point Ireland websites and range from monthly walking themes right through to the official All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships. We aim to deliver a consistent programme of initiatives every year on a recurring basis rather than a series of standalone one-off campaigns. Our "predictable" approach to participation initiatives means walkers always know what's coming up and have ample time to plan ahead. But why should you take part? Click here to find out...
