The summit of Galtymore is marked as Dawson's Table. Captain Dawson was a landowner in this area (Tipperary Directory 1889). Cf. Percy's Table on Lugnaquillia. The diarist Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin (Humphrey O'Sullivan) recorded a different Irish name for the peak: Beann na nGaillti (Cinnlae Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin, iv, 102). The names of three nearby places are derived from this: Glencoshnabinnia (PWJ, iii, 366), Slievecoshnabinnia and Carrignabinnia. The anglicised name Galtymore is recorded as early as the Civil Survey of Co. Tipperary (Down Survey, 1654-56), where it is mentioned (spelt exactly as today) as a boundary feature of the barony of Clanwilliam.   Galtymore is the highest mountain in the Galty Mountains area and the 14th highest in Ireland. Galtymore is the highest point in county Limerick and also the highest in Tipperary.

The Gorgeous Galtees
by hendycoco  11 Jul 2016
We parked at the Clydagh bridge carpark and walked along the Glencush boreen and through a farmyard, approaching the Galtees from the North, with a view to climb Galtybeg first and then tackle Galtymore. There had a lot of rain in the last few days and the crossing from the farmyard to the Cush side of Galtybeg was very taxing due to the boggy ground. We climbed Galtybeg, with great views of Lough Borheen to our left. After a quick break for food at the top of Galtybeg we crossed the ridge over Lough Diheen and proceeded to summit Galtymore. Visibility was very good but it was very windy. After a few photos and a bite to eat we descended Galtymore on the very steep northern slope keeping Lough Diheen to our left. While the hike was strenuous it would be easier after a period of good weather when the ground would be firmer. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/14/comment/18595/
