Description

Wikipedia

Kilmashogue or Kilmashoge (Irish: Cill Mochióg) is a mountain in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county in Ireland. It is 408 metres (1,339 feet) high and forms part of the group of hills in the Dublin Mountains which comprises Two Rock, Three Rock, Kilmashogue and Tibradden Mountains. The forest plantation on its northern slope, which is composed mainly of Sitka spruce, Scots pine and beech, is a habitat for Sika deer, hares, rabbits and foxes. A number of prehistoric monuments can be found on the slopes of the mountain. Coillte, the state-owned enterprise that manages the forestry on the mountain's slopes, suggest that the name Kilmashogue is a corruption of coill na fumsaoige, which means "wood of the ash", or coill na fuiseoige, which means "wood of the lark".
