The Mweelrea Formation is a geologic formation in Ireland in the Mweelrea Mountains. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
Mweelrea at 814 metres (2,671 ft), is the 26th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, and the 34th-highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale. Mweelrea is situated near the apex of a "horseshoe-shaped" massif that includes the peaks of Ben Lugmore and Ben Bury, and which is located between Killary Harbour and Doo Lough, in Mayo, Ireland. Mweelrea is the provincial top for Connacht, and is noted for its southeastern cliff lined corries, and its views. The massif is called the Mweelrea Mountains or the Mweelrea Range.
