Slieve Felim Mountains
The Slieve Felim Mountains ( ga, Sliabh Eibhlinne) are a mountain range in Munster, Ireland. They cover parts of County Limerick and County Tipperary. Historically, the name "Slieve Felim" meant the whole mountainous area between Murroe, Silvermines, Borrisoleigh and Dundrum, including the Silvermine Mountains and Mauherslieve.Tempan, Paul (2006)"Two Mountain Names: Slieve Felim and Mauherslieve" ''North Munster Antiquarian Journal'', volume 6. pp.120-122 However, today the name usually only applies to the southwestern part, made up of Slieve Felim (), Cullaun (), Knockastanna () and Gortnageragh ().

''Fódla'' thus became a poetic name for Ireland. In the early modern era, the name ''Eibhlinne'' became confused with the mor ...
