Church Mountain

Church Mountain, also called Slieve Gad, is the westernmost of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. It is 544 m high. At the summit are the remains of a large ancient cairn of pagan origin. This cairn was partially destroyed and a small building, apparently a church, was built on it in the Middle Ages. Pilgrims formerly climbed the mountain during the festival of Lughnasa to visit a holy well on the summit.

The mountain lies roughly halfway between Hollywood to the north and Donard to the south.
