Croagh Patrick
Croagh Patrick (),〔(Croagh Patrick ) Placenames Database of Ireland. Retrieved: 2013-07-31.〕 nicknamed the Reek,〔(Croagh Patrick, Taifid chartlainne (archival records) ) Placenames Database of Ireland. Retrieved: 2013-07-31.〕 is a mountain and an important site of pilgrimage in County Mayo in Ireland. It is from Westport, above the villages of Murrisk and Lecanvey. It is the third highest mountain in County Mayo after Mweelrea and Nephin. It is climbed by pilgrims on Reek Sunday every year, which is the last Sunday in July. It forms the southern part of a U-shaped valley created by a glacier flowing into Clew Bay in the last Ice Age. Croagh Patrick is part of a longer east-west ridge; the westernmost peak is called Ben Gorm.
==Name==
''Croagh Patrick'' comes from the Irish ''Cruach Phádraig'' meaning "(Saint) Patrick's stack". It is known locally as "the Reek", a Hiberno-English word for a "rick" or "stack".〔''New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'', CD edition 1997, Oxford University Press, Oxford 1973, 1993, 1996.〕 In pagan times it was known as ''Cruachán Aigle'', being mentioned by that name in sources such as ''Cath Maige Tuired'',〔(CELT: ) (The Second Battle of Moytura (translation) ) - (Irish )〕 ''Buile Shuibhne'',〔(CELT: ) (Buile Shuibhne (translation) ) - (Irish (Cruachán Oighle) )〕 ''The Metrical Dindshenchas'',〔(CELT: ) (The Metrical Dindshenchas, 88 Cruachán Aigle (translation) ) - (Irish )〕 and the ''Annals of Ulster'' entry for the year 1113.〔(CELT: ) (Annals of Ulster 1113 (translation) ) - (Irish )〕 ''Cruachán'' is simply a diminutive of ''cruach'' "stack", but it is not certain what ''Aigle'' means. It is either from the Latin loan ''aquila'' "eagle" (more usually ''aicile'' or ''acaile'')〔(Entry for ''aicil'' at eDIL )〕 or a person's name.〔〔(Old-Irish-L: Cruachan Aigle ) 31 Jul 2002〕 In addition to its literal meaning, ''cruach'' in the pagan name may also have some connection with Crom Cruach.
The Marquess of Sligo, whose seat is nearby Westport House, bears the titles Baron Mount Eagle and Earl of Altamont, both deriving from alternative names (''Cruachán Aigle''; ''high mount'') for Croagh Patrick.〔George Edward Cokayne ed. Vicary Gibbs, ''The Complete Peerage'', volume I (1910) (p. 113 ).〕
