Moats of Craan
by barryd  30 Dec 2011 This area is called 'The Moats of Craan' - from the various tors on this part of the ridge. There's an interesting area some way NNE of this, down the mountainside. It's the makings of a small coum and in fact there are two or three depressions, the largest of which is about 2-3 metres deep with streams running into it in winter. However the base seems to be rocky under the sedge and bog and the water dissapears to emerge further down hill. This area is called 'The Fleurs of Craan' - maybe Floors but pronounced Fleur.

by pdowd  26 Aug 2004 There seems to be some confusion between Black Rock mountain (599m) and Mount Leinster East Top (654m). Black Rock mountain is not available on the site and is the most easterly of the Blackstairs mountains. Perhaps it should be added as 599m meters certainly seems to qualify. csd's photos are of Black Rock mountain. The top photo shows Mount Leinster East Top in the middle ground. I trust this helps.

by milo  2 Aug 2002 As it is a considerable distance from the main summit I prefer to call it Black Rock Mountain, as the O.S. did.

by csd  7 Mar 2004 The views from the top of Back Rock Mountain are almost as good as those from Mt Leinster itself. Makes an ideal stop on a circuit of Ballycrystal. Picture shows the summit cairn and the view towards Mt Leinster itself.

by mneary34  29 Nov 2004 Looking at Mount Leinster East Top from Mt. Leinster with Black Rock Mountain in the background as per the photo. Parts of this short route were particularly damp and boggy in contrast with most of the surrounding mountains.
