Seven Hogs

Seven Hogs

The Seven Hogs are a group of islands just north of the Maharees peninsula. Also known as the "Maharee Islands", they are at the western limits of Tralee Bay

They are:
*Gurrig Island
*Inishtoosker
*Illaunimmil
*Illaunboe
*Illauntannig
*Illaunturlogh
*Mucklaghbeg Island

The Maharees Sound separates the Seven Hogs from the mainland. A monastic site comprising beehive huts and the ruins of an old church are located on Illauntannig. Cattle are also grazed on this island during the summer months. Scraggane Pier is the nearest landing point on the mainland.
