Butterhill

Butterhill is a townland in County Wicklow, Ireland.

During the 1930s and 1940s, some residents of Butterhill were displaced when the Poulaphouca Reservoir was created by damming of the River Liffey.

[2] Butterhill is known in antiquarian circles for the distinctive burial mound situated in the centre of the townland, thought to date back to the 5th century.

[3][4] This townland is situated on a hill overlooking Blessington Lake, in the west of County Wicklow.

A number of movies have used the area around Butterhill as a backdrop for their productions:
