The title of the list has been changed to “Irish Landscape Names” to reflect the wider range of content. Slieve Aughty (range), Corraun (peninsula), etc. The vast majority of entries in the list still relate to specific peaks, but for other features, the category of the feature has been added in brackets after the name where this is not self-evident, e.g. 31 existing entries have also been significantly revised and/or expanded. The ranges are mainly those which were already mentioned in the 2010 MV list of peaks. 171 new entries have been added in this edition, making 1,261 entries in total. Preface to 2019 edition A selection of mountain ranges, peninsulas, headlands and islands has now been added to the list, with information on the geographical features themselves and on their names. Numerous minor revisions, corrections and standardisations to ensure consistency of format have been carried out. More than 80 passes and other similar mountain routes have been added to the list. Barr Trí gCom (mullach thoir thuaidh) for Baurtregaum NE Top, Cnoc na Ceachan (mullach i gcéin thoir theas) for Caha Far SE Top. ![]() Irish forms have been added for secondary peaks which do not have a separate name, e.g. Preface to 2020 edition The Irish language names of features situated in the Gaeltacht, wholly or partially, have now been highlighted in bold type.
