Cûl Veleg was the middlemost of three peaks (the other two being Dol Tarlang and Cûl Bîn) located in the pass of Tarlang's Neck. The three mountains formed a spur on the southern side of the White Mountains.

According to legend, Cûl Veleg was in origin part of the load of rocks carried by the giant Tarlang.[1]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

The name Cûl Veleg is glossed as "Bigload",[1] consisting of cûl ("load") and beleg ("great, mighty").[2]
