Hill of Allen, Volcanic summit in County Kildare, Ireland.
The Hill of Allen rises 206 meters above sea level at the eastern edge of the extensive Bog of Allen landscape formation.
The Battle of Allen took place near this hill in 722 AD between the Leinstermen forces and the armies of Fergal mac Máele Dúin.
Irish mythology identifies this hill as the fortress location of Fionn mac Cumhaill, leader of the legendary Fianna warriors.
Roadstone Dublin Limited operates a quarry on the western section of the hill under a 50-year agreement starting from October 2008.
Sir Gerard George Aylmer constructed a circular tower at the summit in 1863, with the workers' names inscribed on its stone steps.
