Cupidstown Hill is the highest point in Co. Kildare. However, it is on the fringes of the Dublin Mountains and is dwarfed by other nearby hills such as Seefingan and Kippure, both on the Dublin/Wicklow county boundary. It is therefore less well known than certain lesser heights in Co. Kildare, such as Dunmurry Hill (231m) and the Hill of Allen (202m), which dominate their surroundings to a greater extent. Cupidstown and Cupidstownhill are names of townlands in the parish of Kilteel.   Cupidstown Hill is the 1003th highest place in Ireland. Cupidstown Hill is the most westerly summit in the Dublin area. Cupidstown Hill is the highest point in county Kildare.

Cupidstown from the North West
by Bunsen7  7 Jul 2021
From the flat plains of North Kildare (i.e. to the North West) there is a distinctive gap visible in the forestry on Cupidstown Hill.

I believe it is Seefingan that is towering above in the background to this picture. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1051/comment/23205/
