The Ben of Howth (; Irish: Beann Éadair) is a hilly area[2] on Howth Head, adjacent to the 171 metre high Black Linn,[2] the peninsula's highest point.[2]
Lying approximately 1½ km to the south of Howth village, the nearest road is Windgate Road, from which a path leads west past Green Hollows quarry.
Two of Howth's other peaks are nearby, Shelmartin or Shielmartin[2] which lies approximately 1 km to the west, and Dun Hill,[2] 0.5 km to the north west.
