MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Piaras Mór in area Brandon Group, Ireland
by GWPR  5 Feb 2003 kaka (2003-01-28 12:04:38): mentions the ogham stone on the shoulder between Pierasmore and Masatiompan. Here is a photo I took of it, July 2002, looking towards the broad sweep of Brandon Bay and the Magharees. The inscription in Ogham translates,"Ronan, the priest son of
Comgall". These Ogham stones generally give the name of an individual, his father's name and some examples in West Kerry carry the name 'Duibhne' (Dovinias), a Goddess of the Corca Dhuibhne. THe view from here is stunning on a clear day! Ronan obviously had a love for the Mountains!

by GWPR  11 Dec 2002 Strange stump south of Masatiompan. Views from summit on a clear day are superb in all directions.

by three5four0  30 Aug 2011 Shorts and a t-shirt in April! A fine day we had for out traverse of the northern tops in the Brandon Group. Not many days like this in Dingle per year. I once spent 14 days straight waiting for a break in the weather to climb Brandon, and all i got was 14 days of rain, mist and gales!
