Kilmashogue
Kilmashogue or Kilmashoge () is a mountain in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county in Ireland. It is high〔 and forms part of the group of hills in the Dublin Mountains which comprises Two Rock, Three Rock, Kilmashogue and Tibradden Mountains.〔Healy, p. 105.〕 The forest plantation on its northern slope, which is composed mainly of Sitka spruce, Scots pine and beech, is a habitat for Sika deer, hares, rabbits and foxes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kilmashogue )〕 A number of prehistoric monuments can be found on the slopes of the mountain.
The Placenames Branch of the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs gives the origin of the name Kilmashogue as meaning “Church of Saint Mochióg”.〔 In the nineteenth century, the antiquarian Patrick Weston Joyce reported that he had found the remains of a small church, consisting of just a few walls, on the northern side of the mountain.〔Healy, p. 82.〕 Subsequent attempts to locate this site have been unsuccessful.〔 In the chapel of nearby St Columba's college is an early Christian cross which was found on the mountain and is believed to have come from the church reported by Joyce.〔Healy, p. 48.〕 However, Coillte, the state-owned enterprise that manages the forestry on the mountain's slopes, suggest that the name Kilmashogue is a corruption of ', which means “wood of the ash”, or ', which means “wood of the lark”.〔
==History==
It was once believed that Kilmashogue was the site of a battle between the Irish and the Vikings, described in the Annals of the Four Masters, that took place in AD 917. Subsequent research has shown that this event took place near the River Liffey.〔Ball, p. 56.〕
