Slieve Gullion viewed from the B113 west of Dromintee

The late afternoon sun of a glorious December day lights up the mountain. The hills in the background left are part of the Ring of Gullion.

Ring of Gullion

The Slieve Gullion ring dyke was formed some 60 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.
