Mount Brandon or the Brandon Mountain (Irish: Sliabh Bhreandáin) is a mountain on the Dingle Peninsula, in Co.
Mount Brandon owes its craggy shape thanks to the work of local glaciers during the Ice age, which gouged out a series of corries (cooms) on the eastern flank of the mountain.
The summit of Mount Brandon itself is rounded and smooth due to the fact that it was never covered by ice, and presents a stark contrast to the conical top of Brandon Peak, which is almost Alpine in appearance.

Mount Brandon, which dominates the landscape of the Cloghane/Brandon area of the Dingle Peninsula, stands at what was for many centuries the outer edge of the known world.

 St. Brendan and Mount Brandon
Yet he owed his widespread fame throughout Europe in later centuries to that high point of Mount Brandon, from where he must have ‘seen’ the magical place that he was to venture to.
Apart from the god-hero Bran, Mount Brandon is strongly associated with Lugh or his Welsh equivalent Llwch or Lleu.
If we think of Mount Brandon's Crom Dubh as the 'dark' counterpart of Lugh (who himself represents the light), then the Church ensured that St. Brendan traded places with Lugh to triumph over Crom Dubh himself, thus continuing an ancient and deeply rooted tradition, but now within a Christian framework.
