The Sruffaunoughterluggatoora (Irish: Sruthán Uachtar Log an tSamhraidh, "upper stream of the summer hollow")[1][2] is a mountain stream in the Twelve Bens of Connemara in County Galway, Ireland. It lies entirely within the townland of Glencoaghan and is a headwater of the Glencoaghan River, which it joins via the Sruffaunluggatoora.[1][3] The stream is noted for its exceptionally long name, which, with 25 letters, is one of the longest place-names in Ireland.[4][5]
