With a prominence of only 16 m, it is only listed in a few of the recognised categories of mountains in Ireland; it is the 110th–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam Irish scale. Table Mountain is at the apex of a horseshoe-shaped "boggy" massif with its larger neighbours, Camenabologue 758 m and Conavalla 734 m that sit at the head of the Glenmalure valley; all three peaks lie close to the "central spine" of the range as it runs from Kippure in the north, to Lugnaquillia in the south. There is no recorded Irish language name for Table Mountain, and it has no connection with Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa.

Plane crash

On the afternoon of 7 March 1957, between 12:30 and 12:45pm, a Percival Provost training plane crashed into the slopes of Table Mountain in thick fog resulting in the death of its pilot, an Irish Air Corps lieutenant. The pilot was 21-year-old Patrick L. O'Connor, of Clooneyquin, Castlerea, County Roscommon.
