The English name, Knocknagussy, appears to be an anglicisation of a different Irish name from the one recorded by Tim Robinson on his map of Connemara: Binn Dhubh. Knocknagussy suggests Cnoc na Giúise, 'hill of the pine tree', or Cnoc na Giúsaí, g   Knocknagussy is the 603rd highest summit in Ireland. Knocknagussy is the most southerly summit in the Partry/Joyce Country area.

Wall of Death
by Geansai  24 Mar 2012 There's a great view of Maumeen Pass and Lough Corrib looking southwest and southeast but move away from the cairn a few yards down to the north and there's a great view into this valley. Thats snowy Maumtrasna peeking over the far ridge.
