This image, taken from the Aughanduff Road, shows the multi peaked Slievenacappel (Mountain of the horse), together with, on the right, the twin peaked Mullaghbawn Mountain. Large tracts of the northern slopes of Slievenacappel, above the Tate Road, have been reclaimed and now support improved grassland.
Ring of Gullion

The Slieve Gullion ring dyke was formed some 400 million years ago as the result of a catastrophic volcanic explosion. This destroyed the central volcano leaving behind a circle of hills radiating around the main caldera.
