Hi David,
As someone who has had responsibility for updating positioning and
elevation details on MountainViews.ie, I am most interested if you can
provide any details pertaining to the errors you say that you have often
found.
Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can check them out at
once and report back.

I'll just add that I often find that MountainViews.ie has wrong
information regarding the location of peaks. Not to say the OS maps
can't be wrong either, and in this particular case I don't have any
information either way.

Subject: Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Braigue Mountain, Wicklow
Hi,
I've never heard of either mountain. :)
Online historical Ordnance Survey maps indicate that the point you have
mapped is Cullentragh, not Braigue. However, they don't show a peak to
the west.
My paper map agrees with mountainviews.ie, that Cullentragh is the
larger, western peak. It doesn't mention Braigue.
This suggests "problem" and finding local information might be the best
way forward.
Logainm.ie has no record for Braigue Mountain, but they are often
dependent on OS anyway.

Today, I added this mountain peak
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12544223463<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12544223463>
which always thought was the
peak of Cullentragh Mountain (probably because I've always approached
from
Derrybawn Ridge), where Cullentragh appears as non-descript flatland.
Some walking/racing route descriptions online suggest that the peak
I've
added might be Braigue Mountain
Here, Braigue is referenced as part of Cullentragh but not distinguised
as
a named peak.

Does anybody know?
