Cronamuck is a townland in the parish of Kilteevoge. If the first element is cruach, 'stack', the name probably refers originally to this hill, but it may be cró, 'hollow'. In Donegal Irish these two words are very difficult to distinguish. The Cronamuck is the 641st highest summit in Ireland.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Cronamuck in area Bluestack Mountains, Ireland

Picture: Cronamuck, showing its steep west flank.

Granite knob at the end of a ridge.

Short Summary created by simon3 20 May 2013 This summit can be reached using the ridge extending NE from Croaghbarnes and there are suggestions it could be reached from Commeen to the north on the R253.
Cronamuck has views over towards Gaugin Mountain, Croaghbane and the magnificent but unfrequented Owendoo River valley.
Underfoot Cronamuck and nearby is made of often bare worn granite. The summit appears to be an unattached boulder of perhaps a metre in height.
A potential hazard is that on its west, north and east there are small rivers that could become impassable at short notice in wet weather.

Picture: Cronamuck from Letterkillew

by murphysw 10 Jun 2008 Walked from Barnesmore Gap to Commeen and Cronamuck. The views from the summit are superb and climbing the mountain from the Commeen side would be straightforward. As a child I used to think Cronamuck looked an Irish Ayers Rock!
