The summit of Mouldy Hill is located in the townland of Roosky in the parish of Fahan Upper. The name Mouldy Hill may be a corruption of Ir. mullach, “summit”, usually anglicised as mullagh, mully or molly, cf. Mully Hill / Cnoc na Mullcha in SW Donegal. Another way of looking this is that the English name is suggestive of Old English molda ‘top of the head’, which is close to the sense of Ir. mullach. In fact, it is even possible that Ir. mullach, which lacks Brittonic cognates, suggesting it may not be originally Celtic, is actually a borrowing from English or from earlier Germanic, cf. Old Frisian meldke. Mouldy Hill is the 1132th highest place in Ireland.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Mouldy Hill (<i>An Mullach</i>) in area Inishowen, Ireland

Picture: Mouldy Hill towering over Buncrana, viewed from Rathmullan.

Rough coastal summit over Buncrana and Lough Swilly.

Short Summary created by simon3 5 Jul 2018

Starting point is the large carpark at White Strand at approx C345302 star

A on the main road into Buncrana. Walk back to the Harbour Inn and take the short journey along Tank Rd, turn left onto Hillview road. At a white washed building turn right, dropping before rising up the hillside. A wide road turns steeply right uphil. Pass the large quarry gates after 20 minutes of walking and continue straight onto a rough track. The track climbs its way up the side of the quarry with cracking views N to Slieve Snaght with patches of snow, Bulben, Urris HIlls and Raghtin. Forestry, first broadleaf and then conifer, accompanies the climb until the road crests and ends. Then proceed over open heather.
We would advise visitors to seek permission on this Hill and not to assume access. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/944/comment/5703/
