The Curlew Mountains (Irish: An Corrshliabh, meaning 'the rough or rugged mountain') are a range of low-lying hills situated between Boyle and Castlebaldwin in northeastern Connacht.[1]

The assignation of the name Curlew to the mountains may not relate the Curlew bird, but rather to the Irish: corrshliabh which means "steep-sided pointed mountains".[2]
