The Ben of Howth (Irish: Beann Éadair ) is a hilly area[1] on Howth Head, adjacent to the 171 metre high Black Linn[1], the peninsula's highest point[1]. Lying approximately 1½ km to the south of Howth village, the nearest road is Windgate Road, from which a path leads west past Green Hallows quarry.
Two of Howth's other peaks are nearby, Shelmartin or Shielmartin[1] which lies approximately 1 km to the west, and Dun Hill[1], 0.5 km to the north west.
