Knocknahillion (Irish: Cnoc na hUilleann, meaning 'hill of the elbow')[2] is one of the Maumturk Mountains of Connemara in County Galway, Ireland. At 607 metres (1,991 ft), it is the 210th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin list,[3] and 256th–highest on the Vandeleur-Lynam list.[4][5] Knocknahillion is in the middle sector of the long north-west to the south-east spine of the Maumturks.[5][6] The summit is offset to the west of the rocky central ridge of the Maumturks, and its western-facing slopes have a distinctive "diagonal" rock stratification when viewed from the Inagh Valley.[5][6]
