About Crockbrack

Rising above the village of Moneyneany in the eastern Sperrins, this rounded heather-clad summit offers a quintessential Northern Irish moorland experience. It is a quiet, boggy ascent, often tackled alongside its neighbour Craigagh Hill. Reaching the top reveals a wild, expansive landscape defined by the rolling, peat-covered ridges of the surrounding range.

Did You Know?

  • The name originates from the Irish 'Cnoc Breac', meaning 'Speckled Hill', referring to the mosaic of heather, stone, and grass that characterises its slopes.
  • It is a prominent feature of the eastern Sperrins, forming part of a popular high-level circuit that connects it with the nearby peaks of Craigagh Hill and Slieve Gallion.
  • The summit provides a clear perspective of the Moyola Valley to the south, with the higher, bulkier masses of Sawel and Meenard visible to the west within the central Sperrin range.
  • While its classification as a Hump identifies its topographic prominence, the local terrain suggests that 'Sump' might be an equally fitting description for the deep peat hags found on the approach.
