Slievecallan is an isolated peak, the highest in SW Clare. Given the altitude and boggy, infertile terrain, Callán/Collán is more likely to be the element meaning 'height' which appears in names such as Sliabh gCallann (Slieve Gallion in Derry) and Slievecallan is the highest hill in the West Clare area and the 855th highest in Ireland. Slievecallan is the most southerly summit in the West Clare area and also the most westerly.
