Moanbane, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland.
Moanbane is a summit in County Wicklow that rises to about 700 meters, topped by a wide plateau. This high ground features bright bogland and small mountain lakes scattered across its surface.
The name comes from the Irish words 'Móin Bhán', meaning 'white bog', which refers to the pale bogland visible on the mountain. This naming reflects the natural appearance that visitors see today.
The peak stands as number 85 on Ireland's Arderin scale, making it a recognized destination for mountain climbing enthusiasts and peak collectors.
Visit on dry days since the boggy terrain becomes muddy when wet. Routes from Ballyknockan or Glen Bride Lane both reach the summit in under two hours of hiking.
The mountain maintains a geographic isolation distance of 2.7 kilometers from its nearest higher neighbor, Mullaghcleevaun, creating a distinct topographical feature.
