Baltinglass hillfort complex, sometimes known as the Baltinglass-Kilranelagh hillfort complex, is a cluster of 13 prehistoric hillforts near Baltinglass, County Wicklow.
Tom Condit (Office of Public Works) dubbed Baltinglass as the "hillfort capital of Ireland" in 1992.[1] As of 2024, 13 large hilltop enclosures have been identified across seven hills, within a 10 km radius of Baltinglass,[2] making Baltinglass the only area with more than two hillforts.[3]
