Truskmore (Irish: Trosc Mór, meaning 'big cod')[3] is a mountain with a height of 647 metres (2,123 ft) on the border of County Sligo and County Leitrim in Ireland. It is the highest summit in the Dartry Mountains and the highest in Sligo.[1] It is in the middle of a plateau whose edges are marked by high cliffs,[4] including Benbulbin (526m), Benwiskin (514m), Slievemore (597m) and Kings Mountain (462m).[1] The top of Truskmore lies in County Sligo, a short distance from the border with County Leitrim; however, the mountain itself is in both counties.[4]
