The name Monavullaghs comes from “Móin an Mhullaigh” – the turf or bog of the summit. The name interestingly could also have come from "Móin an Bhuaile" which means the turf of the herding place. Some people say that it is just another name for the Comeraghs, as the name was used in the past to refer to the boggy ground on the top of the Comeragh Plateau. Others argue however that the name refers to the south-western Comeraghs. So which is it? Whatever the answer, today the 300 metres wide neck of high ground between the backwalls of the Coumalochas and Coumtay is considered by many to be the frontier between the Comeraghs and Monavullaghs if there is one! Everything west and south of here is considered Monavullagh country.      Carrigbrack and Milk Hill Ridges with the Colligan Valley in between from near Seefin  The Northern Monavullaghs The northern
