Wolftrap Mountain, Mountain summit in County Offaly, Ireland
Wolftrap Mountain rises to 487 meters in elevation, standing as the third highest peak in County Offaly within the Slieve Bloom mountain range.
The mountain's name reflects Ireland's 17th-century wolf population, when Cromwell's government established bounties for eliminating wolves that threatened local livestock.
The mountain's Irish name, Sliabh Ghaiste na Mac Tire, connects to local folklore about wolves, including tales of encounters between priests and these animals.
A rutted track leads to the summit, where visitors find a trig pillar and several radio masts used for telecommunications infrastructure.
The mountain's geological composition includes pale and red sandstone from the Cadamstown Formation, with a prominence of 42 meters from surrounding terrain.
