War Hill, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland
War Hill rises 686 meters above sea level, featuring granite formations and connecting to neighboring peaks through a network of walking paths.
In 1838, Irish scholar Eugene O'Curry documented a battle between English forces and the O'Tooles near War Hill in the Townland of Lackandarragh.
The mountain carries both English and Irish names, with its Irish designation Cnoc an Bhairr reflecting the regional linguistic heritage of County Wicklow.
Hikers access War Hill through the Ballinastoe Wood car park, following a 16-kilometer circuit that includes passages to White Hill and Djouce.
Between War Hill and Djouce stands the Coffin Stone, a geological formation marked on historical maps of Dublin and Wicklow mountains.
