Mount Gabriel, Summit in County Cork, Ireland
Mount Gabriel rises 407 meters above sea level on the Mizen Peninsula, offering views across Schull Harbour, Long Island Bay, and Roaringwater Bay.
Archaeological excavations on the southern and eastern slopes revealed Bronze Age copper mining activities, with artifacts now preserved in the National Museum of Ireland.
The mountain's Irish name, Cnoc Osta, translates to 'hill of the encampment', reflecting its significance in local heritage and traditional stories.
A public road leads to the radar installations at the summit, providing vehicle access for visitors interested in reaching the mountain's highest point.
Two radar domes constructed in the late 1970s mark the summit as part of the Eurocontrol project for European air traffic management.
