The Hill of Allen (Cnoc Alúine in Modern Irish, earlier Cnoc Almaine; also Hill of Almu [1]) is a volcanic hill situated in the west of County Kildare, Ireland, beside the village of Allen. According to Irish Mythology, it was the seat of the hunter-warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill and the Fianna.[1] The site is currently part-owned by Roadstone Dublin Limited[2] and extensive quarrying has noticeably changed the profile of the hill.
