Boolatin Top

Rising within the Silvermine Mountains of County Tipperary, this 446.6-metre Tump offers a quiet, uncrowded vantage point. The terrain is typical of the range, featuring rough upland grazing and patches of heather. From its summit, hikers gain an excellent perspective of the massive northern slopes of nearby Keeper Hill.

• •The name likely derives from the Irish 'Buaile Aitinn', meaning the summer pasture or 'booley' of the gorse, indicating the hill's historical use for seasonal cattle grazing.
• •Located in the Silvermine range, the hill sits in a region famous for its mining history, though this specific summit is more notable for its peat and heather than its mineral wealth.
• •The summit offers clear views across the Nenagh River valley towards the expansive waters of Lough Derg to the northwest.
• •While it may lack the height of its more famous neighbour, Sliabh Coimeálta, its status as a Tump ensures it possesses at least thirty metres of prominence from the surrounding ground.
