Gabhal Mhór [OSI], 'big fork') Height: 574 metres OS 1/50k Mapsheet: 85 for top Grid Ref: V87375 52950 Latitude: 51.718194 Longitude: -9.630395 ITM: 487349 553016 Prominence: 126m   Isolation: 1.2km The Irish name Gabhal Mhór may seem odd as a name for a mountain, but it appears to have developed from Sliabh na Gaibhle, 'mountain of the fork'. This accounts for the anglicised form Slieve Goul found in several 19th century sources. It is unclear what exactly the fork is, but it may be a confluence of streams referred to in the name of the nearby townland, Kealagowlane (Ir. Caol an Ghabhláin, 'marsh/narrowing of the little fork'). Gabhal Mhór stands in contrast to Gabhal Bheag, Gowlbeg Mountain, its lower neighbour. For the origin of the English name, see Sugarloaf Hill in Wicklow for an explanation of hills called Sugarloaf. Sugarloaf Mountain is the 320th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 44% of the goal for this summit. (Details)     COMMENTS for Sugarloaf Mountain Page 1 of 1 simon3  27 May 2003 Claude Wall [Mountaineering in Ireland] said of this mountain: ‘Slieve na Goill (1,887), “the misty hill”, popularly known as Sugarloaf Mountain, is an isolated cone a few miles from Glengariff noteworthy as the best viewpoint of Bantry Bay’. I can certainly agree that it has great views over Bantry Bay but “isolated cone”, no not so. It looks like a cone from the east, such as the Glengarriff area but not from north or south. It isn’t all that isolated either. The east top of Toberavanaha is only about 750m away. The photo is a view to the north east, towards an unnamed hill of around 375m. Fading into the heat-haze on the extreme right is Shrone Hill, another place very prominent from Glengarriff. Contract pics.

The mountain in the background is Toberavanaha, almost as high as Sugarloaf, but not nearly as well known.
