Birreencorragh is a mountain in the Nephin Beg Range, County Mayo, Ireland, reaching above sea level.[2]
The name Birreencorragh derives from the Irish Irish: Birín Corrach, meaning "rocky little spike"; Irish: birín is found in very few Irish toponyms.[2]
The mountain is separated from nearby mountains, such as Glennamong and Nephin Beg in the west and Nephin in the east, by deep depressions.[3] It makes a good viewpoint of the Nephin Beg Range.[4]
