The Irish Hewitts
Summits in Ireland with at least 2,000 feet elevation & 30m prominence
The acronym term "Hewitt" refers to any Hill in England, Wales or Ireland over Two Thousand feet above sea level. In addition, a Hewitt must also have a prominence of at least 30 metres. On this page, we focus on the Hewitts in Ireland as originally listed by the late E.D. ‘Clem’ Clements. The Irish Hewitt list currently comprises 209 mountain summits.
Since E.D. ‘Clem’ Clements’ death a Legacy Committee has been formed to safeguard all his hill related documents, which also include his hill lists, with the co-custodian responsibility for the Irish Hewitts now being with Myrddyn Phillips and David Purchase.
We would like to thank Myrddyn and David for agreeing the inclusion of Clem's list on The Ireland Walking Guide website.
Mountain and hill summits offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend visiting them during months when the days are longest. For this reason, we promote upland walking as our monthly theme for June.
