Foildarg [An Fhaille Dearg]

Rising above the Tipperary plains in the Silvermines range, this 440m Marilyn offers a quieter alternative to nearby Keeper Hill. Its name, meaning "The Red Cliff," hints at the rugged sandstone character found in these uplands. Expect a mix of forestry tracks and open, often peat-heavy moorland underfoot.

• •Derived from the Irish An Fhaille Dearg, its name translates to "The Red Cliff," a likely reference to the Old Red Sandstone that forms the geological backbone of this part of Tipperary.
• •The summit provides a clear, uncrowded perspective of the massive, mast-topped dome of Slievekimalta (Keeper Hill) to the west and the sprawling Nenagh River valley to the north.
• •Despite its modest elevation, Foildarg qualifies as a Marilyn due to its 154 metres of prominence, making it a significant high point for those tracking Irish peaks with a drop of 150 metres or more on all sides.
