South Barrule is a hill in the south of the Isle of Man. It has the remains of a fort on its summit, and is largely surrounded by plantations. On the south western slope of the hill the Cringle reservoir was formed to supply water to the southern part of the island.
A short, straight footpath links the summit with the Bayr ny Skeddan long distance footpath and the A27 Colby to Peel road which, along with the A36 Sloc road, runs over the shoulder of the hill.
There is also a North Barrule in the Isle of Man. The word Barrule (Barrool in Manx) features in the Manx national anthem, where the Island is said to be "firm as Barrule".
