Croagh Patrick, Slemish, Muckish, Church Mountain, Brandon Mountain, Slieve Gullion, Black Mountain, The Great Sugar Loaf, The Paps of Anu, Knocknarea, Knocknashee ...
The list in Ireland is endless and many were still used less than 50 years ago for Lughnassa & Lammas festivals. Croagh Patrick is still a site of mass pilgrimage every year when thousands climb bear footed and say prayers at cairns.
I've not climbed CP yet, but it can be seen quite beautifully from here:
