High Point sub-lists

Every location on the official list of Ireland's major geographical High Points has earned its place by meeting the criteria for at least one of the eight primary sub-lists. Certain locations from the overall list have also been hand-picked for inclusion on twelve secondary sub-lists. Each of the 17 sub-lists below marked "KG" is an original compilation by Kieron Gribbon which was first published on the date shown and is an original standalone list in its own right.
