V.—Notes on the Corries of the Comeragh Mountains, Co. Waterford
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Between Crotty's Lough and Coumshingaun a long spur of the Comeraghs juts out eastwards for about a mile and a half with an average height of 1400–1500 feet. On the south side this projecting ridge descends rather steeply to a stream at its base, which heads at a height of over 2,400 feet on the lofty plateau between Coumgorra and Coumshingaun; it runs down the mountain-side in a narrow gully over bare rock and reaches the foot in a series of picturesque waterfalls. No glacial débris occurs in this ravine, but on the lower ground the stream flows over the margin of the moraines belonging to Coumshingaun and runs eastward as the River Ire to join ultimately the Clodiagh.
