About Bricklieve Mountains
Bricklieve Mountains is a mountain. Location: County Sligo, Connacht. Elevation: 321 m.
The Bricklieve Mountains or Bricklieve Hills (Irish: An Bricshliabh, meaning 'the speckled mountains') are a range of hills in south County Sligo, Ireland. They are dotted with ancient passage tombs known as the Carrowkeel tombs or Bricklieve tombs. The name of the hills is a possible reference to their appearance when more quartz rock survived outside the cairns, making them sparkle in the sun.
