Story Notes
28th August 2002
Three Rock is a 450 metre mountain located in the Dublin Mountains, in the east of Ireland. It is a shoulder of the much less well known Two Rock, which is higher at 536 m. However, Three Rock projects out towards the southeastern part of the city, making it a valuable mast site. Originally known for the rocks at its summit, Three Rock is now most notable for its large collection of radio and television transmitters, with five separate towers on the mountain as of 2006.
T'hree Rock Mountain - I Cast a Spell Over Dublin' is a portrait of Three Rock Mountain as seen through the eyes of those who have lived atthe foot of it all of their lives. Others use it as a vital communications location or as a special recreational facility close to Dublin city.
