Boggeragh Mountains
From Wikishire
The Boggeragh Mountains are a small group of mountains in County Cork, with the Munster Blackwater to the north and the River Lee to the south of the hills. With an elevation of 2,113 feet, the highest peak is Musheramore. They are known in the irish language as An Bhograch.
The landscape consists of peat blanket bog, grassland, streams and areas of forestry.
The mountains were formed from Old Red Sandstone deposited during the Devonian Period. They were shaped by glacial erosion during the last Ice Age.
Construction of a wind farm in the area started in September 2009. In February 2010, 19 units of Vestas V90-3MW wind turbines are up and running.
