Slieve Meelmore, Mountain summit in the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland.
Slieve Meelmore rises to an elevation of 704 meters, featuring steep slopes and granite formations within the Mourne Mountains range.
The Mourne Wall, constructed between 1904 and 1922, passes over Slieve Meelmore's summit as part of a 31-kilometer stone barrier marking Belfast's water catchment.
The mountain's name combines Slieve, meaning mountain in Irish, with Meelmore, reflecting the historical Gaelic influence in Northern Ireland's geography.
Hikers can access Slieve Meelmore through multiple trails from Hilltown, located 9.7 kilometers west of the mountain's base.
Initial mapping errors led to Slieve Meelmore's removal from the Mourne Sevens challenge when its true height was determined to be below 700 meters.
Elevation above the sea: 704 m
GPS coordinates: 54.18961,-6.00054
