In ancient times Lugnademon was called Cruachan Aigle, the sanctuary of Crom Dudh, a pagan Celtic deity or God. Tradition has it that Saint Patrick subdued Crom and his demons and cast them into the hollow at the base of the mountain known to this day as Lug-na-nDeamhan (Hollow of Demons).

I look forward to learning the full details of the Local/Historical/Cultural significance of Lugnademon. It's a super platform from which to view Clew Bay and the shapely enormity of The Reek. Anyone heading to Croagh Patrick will pass this bump and it adds no more than a few minutes to visit its flat summit. A curious man made structure lies within sight of the main tourist route at the base of Lugnademon. It is a platform no more than a few meters square, covered in a bright green surface that looks oddly like artificial grass. Could it be a tee for mountain golf? Or do Irish dancers float over it on Reek Sunday? Surely the Westport walkers can enlighten us? Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1477/comment/18515/

Lugnademon is a flat topped bump to the right of the main Croagh Patrick highway. It is devoid of other walkers although you can see and hear them struggling up and down the main event. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1477/comment/18523/
