Sugarloaf is a 552 metres (1,811 ft) peak in west County Wicklow, Ireland that lies on the northern edge of the Glen of Imaal. With a prominence of only 14 metres (46 ft), it is not listed in any of the recognised categories of mountains in Ireland, and is a subsidiary summit of Lobawn 636 metres (2,087 ft), to the north.[1]
