Sage Hill is a mountain and the third highest point in Antigua and Barbuda.[1] Located in the Shekerley Mountains of Saint Mary, the hill overlooks the settlement of Sawcolts as well as the Christian Valley. Sage Hill is home to the ruins of a sugar estate that was centered around one of the most valuable springs on the water-scarce island. The estate's mill tower continues to stand and the estate was home to 125 enslaved individuals at the time of emancipation in 1833.[2] The hill has an elevation of 349 metres (1,145 feet).[1] The hill is located in the island's volcanic region.[3]
