Ireland's Isol-Prom High Points
(Ireland's most topographically isolated AND prominent summits)

An Isol-Prom High Point is any of the twenty summits in Ireland which are higher than all their respective surrounding ground for at least 20km in all directions and have a topographical prominence of at least 500m. This original list compiled by Kieron Gribbon was first published on 12th September 2017 and is the first Irish summit list ever to be based purely on topographical isolation and prominence. It is a secondary sub-list of the official list of Ireland's major geographical High Points, a sub-set of the 20km Isolation High Points, and a sub-set of the 500m Prominence High Points. It is also an original standalone list in its own right.

Use our affiliate links

All of our Sport Hillwalking initiatives are 100% free for you to take part in. However, please note that we do have significant operational costs which we cover on a voluntary basis ourselves. The long-term development strategy for High Point Ireland, Sport Hillwalking and our growing family of independent Irish information websites will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. To help us speed things along, we'd be most grateful if you would consider using the affiliate links we have set up on The Ireland Travel Guide website to buy your outdoor gear and book accommodation online in the future. Using these links will not affect the price you pay at checkout. However, each purchase you make could send a small commission our way at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake, this is certainly not a get-rich-quick effort, but rather a very slow drip-feed of pennies and cents to partially cover the time, effort and money we continue to invest in our range of independent projects. Thank you in advance for your support.
