War Hill (Irish: Cnoc an Bhairr, meaning 'Hill of the summit')[2] at 686 metres (2,251 ft), is the 106th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[3] and the 129th–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.[4][5] War Hill is in the far northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains, in Wicklow, Ireland. Due to its remote setting, it is usually only accessed as part of a larger hill-walking route taking in other neighbouring peaks such as Djouce or Maulin. One of the few distinguishing landmarks in the area is the Coffin Stone that lies in the saddle between War Hill and Djouce, whose origin is uncertain.
