Coomataggart [Com an tSagairt]

Rising above the village of Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh, this Tump in the Shehy Mountains offers a rugged, often boggy ascent characteristic of West Cork. Its position provides clear, earned views across the Lee Valley and towards the higher bulk of Mullaghanish to the north and Knockboy to the west.

• •The name derives from the Irish Com an tSagairt, meaning 'The Priest’s Hollow,' likely referring to a sheltered corrie used for clandestine religious services during the Penal Times.
• •From the summit, you are rewarded with a clear perspective of the Lee Valley and the iconic Gearagh, with the distant peaks of the Paps of Anu visible to the north-west.
• •The hill is a significant local landmark for those navigating the transition between the Shehy and Derrynasaggart ranges, situated near the headwaters of the River Lee.
