Slieve Commedagh, Mountain summit in County Down, Northern Ireland.

Slieve Commedagh rises to 767 meters, making it the second-highest peak in the Mourne Mountains, featuring steep slopes and granite formations.

The Mourne Wall, constructed in the early 1900s, extends across the mountain summit, serving as a boundary marker for the water catchment area.

The mountain's name originates from Irish Sliabh Coimheideach, reflecting its function as a guard post overlooking the surrounding landscape through centuries.

Hikers can access the summit through multiple paths, including the Glen River Track and Hare's Gap route, with the ascent taking approximately 2.5 hours.

The southern face contains distinctive granite rock formations called 'the Castles,' which stand out against the mountain's heather-covered slopes.

Location: Northern Ireland
