You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Shehy Mountains''' (''Cnoic na Seithe'' in [[Irish language|Irish]], meaning ''"Hills of the animal hides"'') are a range of low mountains situated on the border between [[County Cork]] and [[County Kerry]], in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Book (eISB) |first1=electronic Irish Statute |title=electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB) |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2011/si/599/made/en/print |website=www.irishstatutebook.ie |language=en))</ref>

==Geography and geology==
The highest peak (also the highest mountain in County Cork), '''[[Knockboy]]''' (''Cnoc Buí'', "yellow hill"), is 706&nbsp;metres high and most of the other peaks in the range are between 500 and 600&nbsp;metres high. The [[River Lee (Ireland)|River Lee]] rises in Coomroe, a small valley at the eastern end of the range,  before flowing eastwards towards [[Cork Harbour]], where it enters the sea. The peaks mostly consist of [[Old Red Sandstone]] laid down in the [[Devonian]] period. During the [[Last Glacial Period|Ice Age]], the Shehys took their present form, when  [[glaciers]] carved out the many deep valleys in the area and also eroded the mountains down to their present height. When the icecaps retreated, they left behind hundreds of lakes in the valleys and on the mountain tops.

==Flora==
The Shehy Mountains are mostly covered with [[peat bog]]s and coarse grassland, but there are also some small [[conifer]] plantations scattered around the area. Plants typically found here include [[butterwort]]s, [[sundew]]s, [[Calluna|heather]], and [[bilberry]], among many others.

==Fauna==
The animal species found in the Shehy Mountains are mostly the same as those found throughout the lowlands, but some are more often seen in the mountains than elsewhere, including:

;Mammals:
*[[Mountain hare|Irish hare]]
*[[Sheep]]
;Birds:
*[[European stonechat]]
*[[Common raven|Raven]]

==History==
The area has a very long history of human habitation, going back at least 5000 years. Numerous [[Neolithic]] [[megalith|megalithic monuments]] are found in the foothills and valleys, as well as [[ringfort]]s, [[Fulacht fiadh|fulachta fia]] and later antiquities.
One of the most historic sites in the Shehy mountains is [[Gougane Barra]] in the Coomroe valley, where [[Saint Finbarr]] established a hermitage in the 6th century.
During the [[Irish War of Independence]], the mountains were an [[Irish Republican Army|IRA]] stronghold, and continued to be so for the anti-treaty forces during the [[Irish Civil War]].

==Highest points==
The following table lists the 5 highest major mountain peaks of the Shehy Mountains, all with a topographic elevation of at least 625 metres (2,050&nbsp;ft). After the top five, height does not vary much in the Shehy Mountains, with most peaks ranging between 450 and 600 metres.
