Bedrock type: Whitish quarztite with pebble beds, (Ards Quartzite Formation)
Errigal is well-known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun. It is located on the boundary of four townlands: Beltany Mountain, Dunlewy Near, Procklis, Money More. Despite the name, there are no known remains of an oratory. It may therefore be a metaphorical name for the mountain itself. Alternatively, it may originally be a Brittonic name akin to Welsh argel ‘hiding-place, refuge, secluded spot’. Old Irish has a cognate word airchel, ‘lurking place’, but the -g- in Earagail would be more consistent with the Brittonic form. An Earagail is the highest mountain in the Derryveagh Mountains area and the 78th highest in Ireland. An Earagail is the highest point in county Donegal.
