These ranges are the Galtees (3,000 feet) ;Knockmeledown (2,700), on the border of Waterford, and extending westwardinto Cork ; Slieve-na-man (2,364,) also on the south, looking across the Suir atthe Commeraghs ; on the northwest the Keeper Mountains (2,100); northeastthe Devils Bit Mountain.^., rising abruptly near Roscrea, and extending in asouthwesterly direction to Burrisoleigh, the highest summit being 1583 feet; onthe east the Slieve-ardagh hills. The narrow ridge of Slieve-na-muck, 1,215feet, extends from the Limerick border to the rear of Tipperary town, and between it and the Galtees is the beautiful glen, or rather valley of Aherlo602.
