Although this peak is higher than either of its neighbours, Aghla More or Aghla Beg, it has always remained unnamed on Ordnance Survey maps. As it has never even been marked with a spot height on the 6 inch map, it seems likely that it was omitted because of a failure to realise that it was the highest peak in the group. An Eachla Bheag (mullach theas) is the 280th highest place in Ireland.

by simon3 30 Sep 2002

Aghla Beg (South) is also known by the tongue-twisting Ardloughnabrackbaddy and is the highest of a triangle of summits known as the "Aghlas" between Muckish and Errigal. Its north-eastern face is very steep sided, leading to Lough Aluirg shown here in the picture. Unusually the lough appears unshadowed and very blue as a result of good weather with blue skies. The heights at the top of the picture is a view along the broad back of Muckish. Between Muckish and L. Aluirg is the complicated high ground around Crocknalaragagh (471m).
