Carrigvore

Carrigvore (Irish: Carraig Mhór, meaning 'big rock') at 682 metres (2,238 ft), is the 111th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, and the 134th–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale. Carrigvore is in the middle section of the Wicklow Mountains, in Ireland, and is part of a large north-east to south-west "boggy ridge" that runs from the Sally Gap to Carrigvore, and then on to Gravale 718 metres (2,356 ft); after a col, the ridge continues south-westwards to meet Duff Hill 720 metres (2,360 ft), which is part of the larger massif of Mullaghcleevaun 849 metres (2,785 ft).
