Ouley Hill is 180 m high and lies in County Down Northern Ireland between Carryduff and Saintfield. Its name is derived from Irish Baile Eochaille, meaning '‘townland of the yew-wood’ or simply Eochoillidh ‘yew wood’'[1]
It was the site of a battle in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
Ouley Hill is accessible by the Killinure Road which runs across the highest part, there are several side road networks which straddle the peak, including Ouley Road itself.
