About Lissoughter

Lissoughter is a mountain. Location: County Galway, Connacht. Elevation: 401 m.

From Wikipedia

Lissoughter or Lissoughter Hill (Irish: Cnoc Lios Uachtair, meaning 'hill of the upper ring-fort') is a prominent hill between the Twelve Bens and Maumturks mountain ranges, at the southern entrance to the Inagh Valley, in the Connemara National Park of County Galway, Ireland. With a height of 401 metres (1,316 ft), it does not qualify to be an Arderin or a Vandeleur-Lynam, however, its prominence of 336 metres (1,102 ft) ranks it as a Marilyn.
