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 HuMPs (full list)

Largely derived from the Irish Marilyns and Sub-Marilyns. Full duplication.

45% based on original research
55% derived from other lists (Marilyns)
Derived / compiled by Jim Bloomer

Irish HuMPs (130m+ prominence band)

Derived entirely from the Irish Marilyns and Sub-Marilyns. Full duplication and merger.

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists
Duplicated and merged by Jim Bloomer

Irish Sport Hillwalking List

Derived entirely from the Irish Hewitts / Major Geographical High Points. Full merger.

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists
Duplicated and merged by Kieron Gribbon
319 of the 355 locations on this list qualified for inclusion from having featured on the Irish Hewitts and / or Marilyns list. As such, 89% of the locations were identified through original map-based research undertaken by ED 'Clem' Clements.
187 of the 355 locations on this list qualified for inclusion from having featured on Ireland's Major Geographical High Points list. Of these, 10 locations qualified because they are 500m Prominence High Points (Marilyns), Province High Points and / or County High Points but do not feature on any of the other five primary High Point lists. As such, 49% of the locations on the Irish Sport Hillwalking List were identified through original map-based research undertaken by Kieron Gribbon.
27 of the 355 locations on this list are also County High Points. Although these were researched from scratch by Kieron Gribbon in 2010 for checking purposes, the County High Points list had already existed for several decades. As such, 8% of the Irish Sport Hillwalking locations were identified through original map-based research undertaken by an unknown list compiler.

Arderins

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

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists
Duplicated and merged 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 Arderin 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.

Carns

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

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists
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, we classify the Carns as a dirty list.

Binnions

Derived entirely from the Irish HuMPs. Subset.

0% based on original research
100% derived from other lists

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...
