Slieve Rushen, Mountain summit on Ireland and United Kingdom border, County Cavan.
Located at 404 meters elevation, Slieve Rushen features grey limestone foundations, sandstone caps, and extensive areas of peat and conifer forests.
The mountain's first written record appears in the Lebor Gabála Érenn around 1100 AD, documenting battles between Irish tribes in the region.
The name derives from Irish Sliabh Ros-in, meaning mountain of the little wood, and appears in traditional Irish music as a jig title.
The Slieve Rushen Wind Farm operates on the mountain slopes, while several caves including Pollnagollum offer opportunities for potholing expeditions.
The mountain contains multiple geological formations, with limestone quarries actively extracting materials used in local construction projects.
