The location of this feature looks odd on the Discovery map but on the 1/2 inch map it is the lower peak which directly overlooks Maghanaboe and An Seabhac's description confirms this: "binn árd cnuic ar an dteorainn theas" [Glennahoo townland]. Anglicised name appears on ½ inch map. Beenatoor is the 292nd highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 38% of the goal for this summit. (Details)     COMMENTS for Beenatoor Page 1 of 1 by milo  7 May 2005 Easter Saturday'05started here for me, after a really good Good Friday on Brandon Ridge. Parking clear of the bend on the Conor Pass road at 544 101 (Point A) head up the Glenahoo road, leaving it at the gate around 546 098 (Point B) to ascend the flank of the glen on a steep track which attains the ridge about 400m. Stay near the western edge for a splendid view across Beenbo toward Slieveanea and Dingle Bay beyond. Visiting Coombaun I would commend only to dedicated '600' baggers. Best to ascend Beenoskee directly or detour over Glaneteentassig north. Cross the fence edging this for a memorable sidelong view over rocky buttresses toward An Duloch. As you head for Stradbally top you will note a commemorative banner about 100 metres to the east., erected by the friends of Donald Earlie, who died aged 22 imn January 2004. Beenoskee can than be reached from the east , descending steeply northward to the lake,where photo fans who haven't left their apparatus 200 miles away might get a fine panorama of both tops. A return to the start can be made from here , those with two cars may find Tomasin's in Stradbally a compelling feature of the homeward view. One of the higher points of a a great weekend.

Don's friends replaced the Munster flag with an Irish Flag Summer 2006. The Irish flag was replaced with a Limerick flag during Summer 2007.

It is though a fine place to view the mountains to the west. Acoss the meandering Glennahoo river valley are two peaks under 500 meters, but still distinctive in shape, Beenbo and Slievenagower.Behind them rises Coumanare. Off to the left is the ridgeline with Croaghskearda and Gowlane Beg.

From here we struck out cross country, crossing several streams & peat hags to reach the summit of Beenatoor, with its fine views of Beenbo. From here we descended to a col and climbed up to Coumbaun, crossing a wire fence on the way.
