Sliabh Sneachta is the only mountain in Inishowen and is 2019 ft above sea level.
Locals say snow remains on it “till the May Fair of Carn” and that is why it is called Sliabh Sneacht or the mountain of the snow.
According to Magtochair it affords excellent pasturage and the mutton from sheep raised here is particularly excellent and sweet flavoured.
