About Annagh Hill [Cnoc an Eanaigh]

Sitting on the southern fringe of the Wicklow Mountains near the Wexford border, this Marilyn offers an isolated, steep-sided ascent. Its broad, heathery summit provides an unobstructed vantage point looking east toward Croghan Kinsella and south across the rolling farmland of North Wexford, far from the busier central peaks.
