Three Rock Mountain (Irish: Binn Trí Charraig;[3] archaic: Sliabh Ruadh[4]) is a mountain in Co Dublin, Ireland. It is 444 metres (1,457 feet) high[1] and forms part of the group of hills in the Dublin Mountains which comprises Two Rock, Three Rock, Kilmashogue and Tibradden Mountains.[5] The mountain takes its name from the three groups of granite rocks at the summit.[6] It was once believed that these features were man-made: for instance, Gabriel Beranger wrote of them in 1780, "I take them to be altars upon which sacrifices were offered […] the regularity which is observed in piling them convinces me they are the work of man, as they could not grow in that position".[7] In fact, the three outcrops are tors: natural geological features produced by the gradual process of weathering.[6] Today, the summit is dominated by the many radio masts and towers that use the site to broadcast their signals across the Dublin area below.[8] The forestry plantations on the slopes consist mainly of Sitka spruce, Japanese larch, Scots pine, Monterey pine and lodgepole pine.[1]
