Three Rock Mountain
Encyclopedia
Three Rock Mountain is a mountain in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown
County in Ireland
. It is 444 metres (1,456.7 ft) high and forms part of the group of hills in the Dublin Mountains which comprises Two Rock
, Three Rock, Kilmashogue
and Tibradden
Mountains. The mountain takes its name from the three groups of granite
rocks at the summit. It was once believed that these features were man-made: for instance, the antiquarian
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”. In fact, the three outcrops are tors: natural geological features produced by the gradual process of weathering
. 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. The forestry plantations on the slopes consist mainly of Sitka spruce
, Japanese larch
, Scots pine
, Monterey pine
and lodgepole pine
.
, with Clontarf
and Howth
, the Naul
or Man-of-War hills, and the Mourne Mountains; eastward, Kingstown
, Dalkey
, and Killiney
, and then in succession the fertile vale of Shanganagh, Carrickgollogan
, the Scalp
, Bray Head
, the Sugar Loaves
, and the slopes of Prince William's Seat. In clear weather Holyhead
and the Welsh mountains may frequently be discerned, Snowdon
and the Llanberis Pass
being usually the most conspicuous, but occasionally the elongated outline of Cader Idris may be observed some distance to the right”. By way of contrast, Gabriel Beranger said of Three Rock, “The extensive summit of this mountain, the parched ground and its solitude, make it the most awful spot I had ever seen”.
Access to the mountain is possible via the Coillte-owned forest recreation areas of Ticknock and Kilmashogue. The route via Kilmashogue follows the Wicklow Way
hiking trail for part of the way. Three Rock is also traversed by the Dublin Mountains Way
hiking trail that runs between Shankill
and Tallaght
.
Several local sports clubs take their name from the mountain such as the Three Rock Orienteering Club has mapped the area and run orienteering
competitions there since 1981 as well as Three Rock Rovers Hockey Club
(field hockey
) and Three Rock Rovers association football club.
s which were used in early Christian times for grinding. At one time, to the east of central tor was the remains of an abandoned public house
.
Close to the summit is the ruins of an old army shooting range
which closed in the 1970s. The targets were raised and lowered by 12 men using levers in a concrete dugout. A red flag was raised along the forest road to alert visitors that firing exercises were in progress.
The remains of several hill fort
s, ring forts and other enclosure
s are to be found on the slopes of the mountain though they have largely disappeared under the forestry plantations.
During the nineteenth century, much of the lower slopes of Three Rock were covered with small quarries, especially around the village of Barnacullia, which supplied paving stones for Dublin Corporation
for many years. Close to Barnacullia was a cottage that was occupied for many years by the Countess Markievicz up until the 1916 Easter Rising
. The children of James Connolly
stayed at the cottage during the week of the Rising. During the Irish War of Independence
(1919–21) the 6th Battalion of the Dublin Brigade established a camp at Barnacullia.
Further down the slopes, near the Ticknock Road, is a holy well
, known as Grumley's Well, reputed to cure eye ailments.
operates a large transmitter close to its peak at 450 metres above ordnance datum
. The 300 ft (90 m) mast carries analogue UHF television to Dublin city and county, as well as FM and DAB radio. Other masts carry the majority of Dublin's local radio stations and some of the bigger pirate stations.
Transmissions began from Three Rock in June 1978, with RTÉ 1 and RTÉ 2 transmitting on UHF. Prior to 1978, Dublin had to rely on the Kippure
television transmitter (which did not cover some eastern and southern parts of the city satisfactorily), or on a low power transmitter (now defunct) located at the RTÉ television centre itself in Donnybrook, which served most of the districts not reached by Kippure.
The site is one of two RTÉ Network sites used for testing of new technology, including digital radio and digital television. The Three Rock site has previously carried the test RTÉ DAB Multiplex
and (along with Clermont Carn
) is currently carrying the tests for Digital terrestrial television in Ireland.
