The name of the hills is a possible reference to their appearance when more quartz rock survived outside the cairns, making them sparkle in the sun. The hills cover an area of 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi) and include only two major hills, Carrowkeel at 321 metres (1,053 ft), and Kesh Corann at 359 metres (1,178 ft).
