Barrclashcame () is a 772 m (2,533 ft) mountain in County Mayo, Ireland. Geography The mountain is in the townland of Clashcame and is the highest peak of the Sheeffry Hills. A short distance to the northwest is the peak called Barrclashcame Northwest or Storikeennageer (580 m) and to the northeast is the peak of Tievummera (762 m). The mountain overlooks Doo Lough, Glencullin and Glenummera (to the south and west), which separate it from Mweelrea and Ben Gorm.

P600 (hill)
This is a list of P600 mountains in Britain and Ireland by height. A P600 is defined as a mountain with a topographic prominence above , regardless of elevation or any other merits (e.g. topographic isolation); this is a similar approach to that of the Marilyn, Simms, HuMP and TuMP British Isle mountain and hill classifications. By definition, P600s have a height above , the requirement to be called a "mountain" in the British Isles. The "P" terminology is an international classification, along with P1500 Ultras. P600 and "Majors" are used interchangeably. , there were 120 P600s in the British Isles: 81 in Scotland, 25 in Ireland, 8 in Wales, 4 in England, 1 in Northern Ireland, and 1 in the Isle of Man. The 120 P600s contained 54 of the 282 Scottish Munros, and 10 of the 34 Non-Scottish Munros (or Furths), all of which have prominences above , and are sometimes called the "Super-Majors".

Marilyns Of Ireland
This is a list of Marilyn hills and mountains in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Ireland by height. Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of or more, regardless of height or any other merit (e.g. topographic isolation, as used in Munros). Thus, Marilyns can be mountains, with a height above , or relatively small hills. there were 2,011 recorded Marilyns. Definition The Marilyn classification was created by Alan Dawson in his 1992 book ''The Relative Hills of Britain''. The name Marilyn was coined by Dawson as a punning contrast to the ''Munro'' classification of Scottish mountains above , but which has no explicit prominence threshold, being homophonous with (Marilyn) '' Monroe''. The list of Marilyns was extended to Ireland by Clem Clements. Marilyn was the first of several subsequent British Isles classifications that rely solely on prominence, including the P600s, the HuMPs, and the TuMPs. Topographic prominence is a more difficult to estimate than t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Hewitt Mountains In England, Wales And Ireland
This is a list of Hewitt mountains in England, Wales and Ireland by height. Hewitts are defined as "Hills in England, Wales and Ireland over two thousand" feet in height, the general requirement to be called a "mountain" in the British Isles, and with a prominence above ; a mix of imperial and metric thresholds. The Hewitt classification was suggested by Alan Dawson in his 1992 book, "The Relative Hills of Britain". Dawson originally called his Hewitts "Sweats", from "Summits - Wales and England Above Two thousand", before settling on the label Hewitt. In a series of three booklets edited by Dave Hewitt, the list of English Hewitts was published in 1997, and the list of Welsh Hewitts was also published in 1997, and the list of Irish Hewitts was published in 1998. Hewitts were designed to address one of the criticisms of the 1990 Nuttall classification, by requiring hills to have a relative height of , a threshold that the UIAA had set down in 1994 for an "independent" ...

List Of Mountains Of The British Isles By Height
This is a list of mountains in Britain and Ireland by height and by prominence. Height and prominence are the most important metrics for the classifications of mountains by the UIAA; with isolation a distant third criterion. The list is sourced from the ''Database of British and Irish Hills'' ("DoBIH") for peaks that meet the consensus height threshold for a mountain, namely ; the list also rules out peaks with a prominence below and thus, the list is therefore precisely a list of the 2,756 Simms in the British Isles (as at October 2022). Many classifications of mountains in the British Isles consider a prominence between as being a "top", and not a mountain; however, using the prominence threshold gives the broadest possible list of mountains. For a ranking of mountains with a higher prominence threshold use: * List of Marilyns in the British Isles, for ranking by height and by prominence, of peaks with prominence over ; or * List of P600 mountains in the British Isles, for ...

Lists Of Mountains In Ireland
In these lists of mountains in Ireland, those within Northern Ireland, or on the Republic of Ireland – United Kingdom border, are marked with an asterisk, while the rest are within the Republic of Ireland. Where mountains are ranked by height, the definition of the topographical prominence used to classify the mountain (e.g. the change in elevation required between neighbouring mountains), is noted. In British definitions, a height of is required for a mountain, whereas in Ireland, a lower threshold of is sometimes advocated. The lowest minimum prominence threshold of any definition of an Irish mountain is (e.g. the Vandeleur-Lynam), however most definitions, including the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) criteria, do not consider prominences below as being mountains (e.g. must at least be an Arderin or a Hewitt). Many British definitions consider a peak with a prominence below , as being a ''top'', and not a mountain (e.g. must be a Marilyn ...

Mweelrea
Mweelrea (; ) at , is the 26th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, and the 34th-highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.Mountainviews, (September 2013), "A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins", Collins Books, Cork, Mweelrea is situated near the apex of a "horseshoe-shaped" massif that includes the peaks of Ben Lugmore and Ben Bury, and which is located between Killary Harbour and Doo Lough, in Mayo, Ireland. Mweelrea is the provincial top for Connacht, and is noted for its southeastern cliff lined corries, and its views. The massif is called the Mweelrea Mountains or the Mweelrea Range. Naming Mweelrea is an anglicisation of the , which translates as "bald hill with the smooth top", which describes the profile of the mountain. Geology The geology of what is known as the ''Mweelrea Formation'' is very different from that of the Twelve Bens, on the other side of Killary Harbour.

Doo Lough (Mayo)
Doo Lough () is a freshwater lake in the west of Ireland. It is located in southwest County Mayo on the Murrisk peninsula. Geography Doo Lough measures about long and wide. It lies about southwest of Westport near the village of Delphi. The lake runs in a narrow northwest to southeast direction, and is overlooked by the long ridge of Ben Lugmore , on its southwest shores, and by Barrclashcame on its northeast shores. At its southeast head, lies the massif of Ben Gorm . A notable feature on its northwestern head it the deep corrie of Lug More (or ga, Coum Dubh), from which the Glencullin River feeds into the neighboring Lough Glencullin (the bottom of the corrie is also called the Glencullin valley). Surrounding the corrie is the long ridge of Ben Lugmore and its several subsidiary summits, Ben Lugmore East Top , and Ben Lugmore West Top ; while cutting across the headwall (from bottom left to upper right), is grenn grassy feature known as ''The Ramp'', which is used ...
