Boggeragh Mountains, mountain range in west County Cork, Ireland, comprising the western end of the Boggeragh-Nagles anticline (upwarp of rock strata), a long line of hills running from County Kerry eastward to the Drum Hills of County Waterford. The Boggeragh Mountains are defined to the north by the valley of the River Blackwater, and to the south by the Sullane River. The highest point is Musheramore (2,118 feet [646 metres]). There is little settlement above 1,000 feet (300 metres) but extensive settlement in the lowland between the Boggeraghs and the Nagles, with mixed farming prevailing.
