There is a hillfort on summit named Rathcoran and a second one to NW. The entry in PNCW for Rathcoran refers to an article on The Excavation of a Burial Cairn on Baltinglass Hill in PRIA xlvi (1941), p. 221. This makes it clear that Baltinglass Hill is the English name of this height. Has been called Coolanarrig.   Baltinglass Hill is the 995th highest place in Ireland.

Access issues
by Colin Murphy  7 Jun 2024
An access issue seems to have arisen on this Wicklow Hill, which is terrible given the important Neolithic monuments at the summit. Previously walkers have suggested approaching via the large cross on the west of the hill. Just past this point however (around 300m ascent), brand new, high barbed wire fencing has been erected. In the grassy field beyond, two signs inform you that there is 'No Trespassing' and 'Private Property - Keep Out.' I would suggest walkers find an alternate route up this hill, of which the options are very limited, or somehow seek permission from local landowners.
