Hill in Northern Ireland
Slieve True or Slievetrue (from Irish Sliabh an Triúir 'hill of the three')[1] is a 312 m-high (1,024 ft) hill in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is near Knockagh Monument and Monkstown, about 6 km (3.7 mi) north of Belfast.
Slieve True derives its name from three standing stones (known as "The Three Brothers") about one-half mile (0.80 km) southwest of the summit.[1] These have since been integrated into a field wall. There is also a cairn in the area.[2]
In May 2013, Irish electricity company Gaelectric opened a wind farm in the Carn Hill area of Slievetrue, consisting of six wind turbines at a total cost of £20 million.
