Red Gap, also known as Saggart Hill or Slieve Thoul,[1] is a hill 395 feet above sea level situated 16 kilometres southwest of Dublin city centre in the Dublin Mountains close to Saggart and Rathcoole. The hill gets its name from the townland of 'Redgap' which lies just to the north of it.[2] Today, Red Gap is home to farmland and telecommunication masts. The hill has FM radio transmitters for Newstalk, Kfm, LMFM, i105-107 and East Coast FM.
