Slievenamon, Mountain summit in County Tipperary, Ireland
Slievenamon rises 721 meters above the surrounding plain, featuring wooded lower slopes and steep inclines toward its rocky summit in southern Ireland.
Ancient burial cairns at the mountain peak served as ceremonial sites during prehistoric times, with archaeological evidence indicating continuous human presence since the Stone Age.
Charles Kickham composed the song 'Slievenamon' during the nineteenth century, which became recognized throughout County Tipperary as an unofficial regional anthem.
The mountain trail extends for 4 kilometers from base to summit, with markers guiding hikers through private lands maintained by Slievenamon Estate.
According to Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill organized a race among women to the mountain summit, where the winner would become his wife.
