There are three instances of the name Rocky Mountain in the Mournes. This one is the neighbour of Hen Mountain and Cock Mountain near Hilltown. The summit is less obviously rocky than that of neighbouring Tornamrock, but the northern and western slopes justify the name.
Rocky Mountain is the 814th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 41% of the goal for this summit. (Details) |
