The Mourne Mountains (Irish: Beanna Boirche), also called the Mournes or Mountains of Mourne, are a granite mountain range in County Down in the southeast of Northern Ireland. They include the highest mountains in Northern Ireland, the highest of which is Slieve Donard at 850 m (2,790 ft). The Mournes are designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it has been proposed to make the area Northern Ireland's first national park. The area is partly owned by the National Trust and sees many visitors every year. The Mourne Wall crosses fifteen of the summits and was built to enclose the catchment basin of the Silent Valley and Ben Crom reservoirs.
The name 'Mourne' is derived from the name of a Gaelic clan or sept called the MΓΊghdhorna. The common Irish name for the mountains, na Beanna Boirche, may mean "the peaks of the peak district" or "peaks of Boirche" (a mythical king and cowherd); it was historically anglicised as 'Bennyborfy'.
Some of the mountains have names beginning with "Slieve", such as Slieve Donard, Slieve Lamagan and Slieve Muck, which is derived from the Irish word sliabh, meaning "mountain". There are also a number of curious names: Pigeon Rock; Buzzard's Roost; Brandy Pad; the Cock and Hen; Percy Bysshe; the Devil's Coach Road; and Pollaphuca (from poll meaning "hole"] and pΓΊca meaning "ghost or spirit").
On clear days, the Mourne Mountains can be seen from the Isle of Man and Dublin.

β 'Gadolinite' Localities: Description: Green et al. (2005): "Perhaps the most intriguing reference [to the unnamed and currently disused quarry] is due to the great French mineralogist Lacroix (1888), who reported the discovery of a small crystal of gadolinite on the basis of microchemical tests and optical goniometry." |

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Paleogene : 58.1 Β± 1.6 Ma to 53.6 Β± 0.8 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
