Letterbreckaun, Mountain summit in County Galway, Ireland.
Letterbreckaun rises to 667 meters within the Maamturks mountain range, featuring exposed quartzite formations and steep slopes on multiple sides.
The mountain received its name from Saint Brecan, a religious figure who succeeded Saint Enda from the Aran Islands during early Christian times.
