Mangerton Mountain, Mountain summit in County Kerry, Ireland
Rising to 838 meters above sea level, Mangerton Mountain features the Devil's Punchbowl, a deep oval-shaped corrie lake on its northwestern face.
The northern slopes of Mangerton hosted a significant battle in the 13th century between Mac Cárthaigh Gaelic forces and FitzGerald Norman forces at Tooreencormick.
The mountain's Irish name, An Mhangarta, translates to 'the long-haired mountain,' reflecting local interpretations of its physical characteristics through native language.
The main hiking route spans 10 kilometers to the summit, with multiple access points including Cummeenboy Stream, Derrycunihy Church, and Killarney Hiking Parking Lot.
Three notable lakes emerge from Mangerton's corries into the Horse's Glen: Lough Garagarry, Lough Mannagh, and Lough Erhogh, forming a distinctive glacial landscape.
