Ardnageeha

Rising on the southern fringes of the Galty Mountains, this modest peak offers a quieter alternative to the range's high sandstone ridges. Reaching 361 metres, its character is defined by a mix of forestry and rough grazing, providing a vantage point over the Mitchelstown valley and the massive southern slopes of Galtymore.

• •The name Ardnageeha is derived from the Irish 'Ard na Gaoithe', which translates as 'Height of the Wind', a fitting description for its exposed position overlooking the southern lowlands.
• •The hill is situated near the famous Mitchelstown Caves, marking a point where the limestone of the valley floor meets the older Old Red Sandstone that forms the Galty range.
• •From the summit, the view to the north is dominated by the impressive southern escarpment of Galtymore and the neighbouring peak of Lyracappul.
• •Given the name translates as 'Height of the Wind', any lunch wrappers not firmly gripped at the summit will likely become the immediate concern of a farmer in the next county.
