This mountain has a megalithic cairn and circles at the summit [The Heritage of Inishowen, Mabel R. Colhoun]. It is known as Raghtin on the Buncrana side and as Coing (meaning 'roof beam') on the Urris side. Another alternative name, Slieve Keeroge, is recorded at logainm.ie and, with a slightly different spelling, Slieve Keerogue, on the 1st edition 6" map.   Raghtin More is the third highest mountain in the Inishowen area and the 566th highest in Ireland.

would also add that approaching from either the south or north the full line of the Urris Hills, crossing the Mamore Gap, is a really good walk. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/451/comment/868/

Raghtin More and Crockmain on a misty day. One of my many favourite walks around Inishowen, the path up offers fantastic views across Lough Swilly and the surrounding area. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/451/comment/24150/
