Benglenisky at 516 metres , is the 368th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale. Benglenisky is the second most southern peak, after neighbouring Benlettery, of the Twelve Bens mountain range in the Connemara National Park in Galway, Ireland, and is the lowest of the core Twelve Bens.
According to Irish academic Paul Tempan, Irish: Gleann Uisce, meaning "the glen of water", is from the glen on the south-east side of this peak. Tempan also notes that on the north-west side in the townland of Irish: Barr na nÓrán, Benglenisky is known as Irish: Binn Dubh or Irish: Cnoc Dubh . The green Connemara marble is quarried in Barr na nÓrán, which was first started by Thomas Barnwall Martin in the 1820s.
