Up the Turf Road
Short Summary created by jackill  5 Mar 2011 One way to climb this mountain is by taking the second road to your left on the Dublin side of Kilbeheny where there is a signpost marked "Galtycastle".
Follow this minor road uphill ignoring the turn-off to the right (also signposted Galtycastle) and taking the left hand fork up a cul de sac at the Y junction after it.
After travelling a further 2 kms on this tarred road you will come to a locked gate. Parking here is very tight for even one car on the roadside.
Walk through the gate and over a small concrete bridge to the left. Follow a rough track past a shed and up the Blackrock river valley to its end.
This road was used as an access point for the turf cuttings on the mountains surrounding it during the Second World War. the turf was used to fire the boilers in the nearby Mitchelstown Creamery.
Then walk north east uphill to the col between Lyracappul and Knockaterriff Beg and from there to the summit.
Descent from Knockaterriff to the south is possible , however it is steep and slippery so care is need

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knockaterriff in area Galty Mountains, Ireland
by simon3  15 Jun 2003 This picture is taken from the source of the Pigeonrock River which runs between Knockaterriff and Temple Hill. The river is deeply incised further down this very quiet valley. To the left is Knockaterriff, while you can see on the right towards the top of the picture, part of the long ridge which extends SE from Temple Hill. On this occasion I reached this area by crossing this long ridge, starting from near Benard which is an interesting, solitary place in its own right. However I expect you could reach the Knockaterriff area more directly by going up one of the roads that lead north off the main road near Kilbeheny.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knockaterriff in area Galty Mountains, Ireland
 
by simon3  15 Jun 2003 The valley between the Knockaterriffs (on the left in the picture) and Lyracappul South East contains this stream, “Blackrock River”. A ruined track, marked on the OS 1:50k map, crosses it to the left of the picture and then does a zig-zag onto Lyracappul South East (lower right of the picture). Like other south facing valleys on the Galtees this one is more V shaped than the valleys on the north side. Note the outcrops on the left, which are under Knockaterriff.
