The highest mountains of Ireland

Carrauntoohil or Carrantuohill[3] (play /ˌkærənˈtuːl/, from Irish: Corrán Tuathail)[2] is the highest peak in Ireland. Located in County Kerry, it is 1,038 metres (3,406 ft)[1] high and is the central peak of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks range. There are two other peaks in this range higher than 1,000 m—Beenkeragh (1,010 m) and Caher (1,001 m). The peak of Carrauntoohil is topped by a large metal cross 5 metres (16 ft) tall.
