Location in Ireland

Maumtrasna, historically Formnamore (Irish: Formna Mór, 'the great shoulder'),^[2] is the highest of the Partry Mountains in south County Mayo, Ireland, rising to 682 metres (2,238 ft) above sea level.^[1] The summit is broad and flat with several ridges running off it, including Skeltia (An Scoltach), Benwee (Binn Bhuí), Buckaun (An Bocán)^[2] and Binnaw (Binn Fheá).^[3] The peak of Knocklaur (Cnoc Láir, 'middle hill') stands on the ridge between Maumtrasna and Devilsmother mountains.^[4]

The name 'Maumtrasna' comes from Mám Trasna, meaning "the pass across", and originally meant the hill pass on the road between Lough Nafooey and Lough Mask.^[2] The townland of Maumtrasna is on the south bank of the Srahnalong river. The townland was the location of the infamous Maumtrasna murders in 1882.
