Often simply known as the Sugar Loaf (Irish: Ó Cualann), this mountain is located in the east of County Wicklow, Ireland, just south of Bray. It is also known as the Big Sugar Loaf, to distinguish it from the Little Sugar Loaf to the east on the other side of the N11 dual-carriageway from Dublin to Wicklow.
Though only 501 m high, its isolation from other hills, steep slopes and volcanic appearance makes it appear much taller than it is.
Due to its height relative to the surrounding landscape this mountain qualifies as a Marilyn.
