Camaderry
Camaderry () at , is the 90th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, and the 112th-highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale. Camaderry is situated in the southern sector of the Wicklow Mountains range, and forms a broad horseshoe around the valley of Glendalough with the hydroelectric station at Turlough Hill , and the mountains of  Conavalla , and Lugduff . Camaderry has a subsidiary summit, Camaderry South East Top , and both lie across the deep Wicklow Gap from Tonelagee , which sits on the "central spine" of the Wicklow range. Lough Nahanagan

Between the north face of Camaderry and the east face of Turlough Hill lies Lough Nahanagan (), a deep corrie lake carved by a glacier at the end of the last ice age. The lake is associated with several Irish folk-stories. The cliffs of the corrie around Lough Nahanagan are used by rock-climbers with single-pitch graded routes of up to VS 4c. Mining
Camaderry mountain contains the Luganure mineral vein which is a source of lead in the form of galena (PbS), and also contains traces of silver. In 1859 the Glendasan and Glendalough mines were connected with each other by a series of tunnels called adits, which are now mostly flooded, through the mountain. After several revivals, mining ceased in Camaderry in 1957; however, remains of the Miner's Village at Glendalough can still be seen. Bibliography
