Moanbane (Irish: Móin Bhán, meaning 'white bog')[2] at 703 metres (2,306 ft), is the 85th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[3] and the 106th–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.[4][5] Moanbane is in the central sector, at the western edge, of the Wicklow Mountains, in County Wicklow, Ireland.[6] Moanbane is on a small massif alongside Silsean 698 metres (2,290 ft) which lies between the Blessington lakes (or Poulaphouca Reservoir), and the taller mountain of Mullaghcleevaun 849 metres (2,785 ft).[7][8][6]
Moanbane's prominence of 108 metres (354 ft), does not qualify it as a Marilyn, but does rank it the 50th-highest mountain in Ireland on the MountainViews Online Database, 100 Highest Irish Mountains, where the minimum prominence threshold for inclusion on the list is 100 metres.[9][5]
