So named from a fancied resemblance according to Joyce. The mountain does indeed have the shape of a pig's back, with a curve before a steep downward drop on the S side. A quarry on the N side of the mountain was used to extract high-grade quartz sand for optical glass. An Mhucais is the third highest mountain in the Derryveagh Mountains area and the 165th highest in Ireland.
