List of Hewitts in Northern Ireland

Hewitts are Hills in England, Wales and Ireland (at least) 2,000 ft (609.6 m) high with a relative height of at least 30 m (98 ft). The original list, covering only England and Wales, was compiled by Alan Dawson and originally published in The Relative Hills of Britain under the name Sweats.^[1] The list was subsequently renamed Hewitts to include Ireland, updated, and published in a series of three booklets edited by Dave Hewitt: The Hewitts and Marilyns of Wales,^[2] The Hewitts and Marilyns of England^[3] and The Hewitts and Marilyns of Ireland.^[4]
