Longitude: -6.283611, Latitude: 53.105089 , Easting: 315004, Northing: 207402 Prominence: 100.35m,  Isolation: 2.1km
ITM: 714928 707434,   GPS IDs, 6 char: Lugala, 10 char: Luggala
Bedrock type: Granite with microcline phenocrysts, (Type 2p microcline porphyritic)

Also known as Fancy, from Ir. Fuinnse [PNCW], 'ash-tree', and Cloghoge. Price's interpretation of this name as Log an Lágh, 'hollow of the hill', is doubtful. There is no evidence in dictionaries for the existence of a word lágh with this meaning. The second element does not appear to be lá, 'day', either.   Luggala is the 306th highest place in Ireland.
