Miskish MountainHillMioscais A name in Irish Ir. Mioscais [T6000], meaning uncertain.CorkCounty in Munster Province, in Binnion List, Purple & green sandstone & siltstone Bedrock
Height:386mOS 1:50k Mapsheet: 84Grid Reference: V64300 47900 Place visited by 8 members. Recently by: Wildrover, markmjcampion, IainT, Cobhclimber, chalky, pdtempan, three5four0, dondunlea I have visited this place: NO (You need to be a logged-in member to change this.)
This peak is moderate in stature but has quite a pointed top. It gives its name to the Slieve Miskish range but is not the highest peak within it (Knockoura, 490m). The meaning of the name is obscure, but given the sharp profile, a connection with miosgán, ‘haystack’, is possible (see Benwiskin and Slievenamiskan).
Miskish Mountain is the second highest hill in the Slieve Miskish area and the 976th highest in Ireland. Miskish Mountain is the most northerly summit and also the second most easterly in the Slieve Miskish area. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/857/
