Corcogemore or Corcoge More (Irish: Corcóg; Cone or Beehive)[2] is a 609-metre (1,998 ft) mountain in the Maumturks range in Connemara, Ireland. It is the first major summit on the annual "Maamturks Challenge", a walk covering the entire 25-kilometre range of the Maumturks range in a single day.[3]
Corcogemore lies at the bottom southeast end of the Maumturks range, being the most southerly summit and also the second most easterly in the Maamturks area.[1] The R336 passes between Corcogemore and Lackavrea, providing access to both mountains.[1] Cartographer Tim Robinson notes: "the Ordnance Survey has been incorrectly calling this mountain 'Leckavrea' for a hundred and fifty years." Leckavrea (Ir. Leic Aimhréidh) is a mountain to the east.[2]
