Binn Chaonaigh, Mountain summit in County Galway, Ireland.
Binn Chaonaigh rises to 633 meters above sea level and stands as the fourth-highest peak in the Maumturk Mountains of Connemara.
The mountain base at Maumeen Pass contains remnants of religious gatherings dating to the 5th century when Saint Patrick visited the area.
The name Binn Chaonaigh translates from Irish as 'peak of the moss', reflecting the natural characteristics of this County Galway elevation.
Visitors can access the summit through a 6-kilometer round trip from Maumeen Pass, following marked trails across quartzite terrain.
The mountain forms part of the Maamturks Challenge, a 25-kilometer mountain walk established in 1975 by University College Galway Mountaineering Club.
