Conavalla, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland.

Conavalla is a 734-metre summit in the southern Wicklow Mountains, the 69th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale. Its broad boggy massif forms a horseshoe at the head of the Glenmalure valley with Table Mountain and Camenabologue, and dominates the head of the Glendalough valley from the summit west to Lough Firrib.

The northern slopes hold Art's Cross and Art's Plaque, commemorating Art O'Neill's death in January 1592 during his escape from Dublin Castle. These markers remain a reminder of this tragic historical moment on the mountain.

The name Ceann an Bhealaigh means 'head of the road or pass', which Paul Tempan links to routes from the Blessington lakes area, such as the R756 to the Wicklow Gap, that crossed Conavalla's boggy massif to reach Glenmalure. The Art O'Neill Challenge, held annually, crosses the mountain in memory of the 1592 escape.

Several hiking trails lead to and from the summit, with access from marked parking areas, though navigation can be tricky due to frequent fog and boggy ground. Sturdy footwear and weather protection are essential, as conditions at the top change quickly.

On Conavalla's northern slopes stand Art's Cross and Art's Plaque, marking where Art O'Neill, son of Shane O'Neill, died of exposure in January 1592 while helping Hugh Roe O'Donnell escape from Dublin Castle to Fiach McHugh O'Byrne's stronghold in Glenmalure. The escape is commemorated each year by the Art O'Neill Challenge, a route that crosses the mountain.
