Corcogemore, Mountain summit in County Galway, Ireland
Corcogemore rises to 609 meters within the Maumturk mountain range, featuring a prominent cairn marker at its highest point in Connemara National Park.
In 2020, Corcogemore received official mountain status after new measurements revealed its height had increased by six feet to reach 611 meters.
The mountain's Irish name 'Corcog' translates to beehive, reflecting the regional naming traditions and connections to local agricultural practices.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the most direct route starting from the western side and requiring proper navigation equipment due to variable weather conditions.
This location represents the first recorded instance in Irish geographical history where a hill gained mountain classification due to natural height changes.
