Carhoo Hill or Ballymacadoyle Hill ( Irish: Cnoc na Ceathrún, meaning "Hill of the quarter") [2] is a large hill south-west of Dingle in County Kerry, Ireland.
The 184-metre (604 ft) high hill stands 4 km west of Dingle in an isolated position in the short peninsula dividing Dingle Harbour from the Atlantic Ocean.[ citation needed]
The top of the hill hosts the Eask Tower, a solid stone tower built in 1847. [3] It offers a view on a long stretch of Dingle Peninsula and Iveragh Peninsula. [4]
The English meaning of Cnoc na Ceathrún is hill of the quarter. [5]
The walk which leads up to the summit takes 1.6 km from the asphalted road. Due to the very interesting panorama it's advisable to choose a clear day for it. [3]
