Seltannasaggart [Corry Mountain] [Sailtean na Sagart]

Rising above the village of Drumkeeran on the Roscommon-Leitrim border, this expansive moorland summit serves as the highest point in County Roscommon. Known locally as Corry Mountain, its broad plateau is home to one of Ireland’s first wind farms, offering a stark, functional character overlooking the Arigna Valley.

• •The Irish name Sailtean na Sagart translates to 'the willow-grove of the priest,' suggesting a historical site of worship or a specific landmark within the boggy terrain of these uplands.
• •Despite its modest height of 426 metres, Seltannasaggart holds the distinction of being the county top of Roscommon, making it a primary objective for those completing the Irish provincial high points.
• •The summit offers an excellent vantage point for surveying Lough Allen to the south, while the rugged, dark profile of Slieve Anierin dominates the eastern horizon across the Leitrim border.
• •The area has a deep industrial heritage; while wind turbines now capture the breeze above, the valleys below were once the heart of the Arigna coal mining industry, which operated for over two centuries.
• •For those seeking a sharp, dramatic peak, the summit may be a surprise; it is essentially a vast, peat-covered plateau that feels more like a high-altitude moor than a mountain top.
