Heart of the Dartry's

Short Summary created by wicklore 25 Jul 2010 One approach to Hangman’s Hill is from the public road at G7567 4001 (Point A). It is possible to drive to G7668 4012 (Point B) where the public road ends. There is room for one car here without blocking the farmers track leading on into the valley. it is possible to follow this faint track to G7753 4016 (Point C) and beyond giving great access to the Keelogboys and Hangmans Hill. Although crossing a wide section of bog it is not too wet or heavy going. Head first for the pointed hill on the left hand side of the Hangmans Hill ridge and watch out for Irish Lizards which live on this hill. Hangmans Hill offers great views of the various Keelogyboy hills, as well as Crockauns, Glencar Lake and over Kings Mountain to Truskmore. There is a great sense of wilderness in this area.

Point A: G7567 4001	Point B: G7668 4012	Point C: G7753 4016

Nice hill pity about the name!

by Harry Goodman 27 May 2012 I climbed this hill as part of a greater round of tops on 5 May 2012. (For earlier part of the route see my comments on Keelogyboy NE top.) From the col with Keelogyboy NE Top G782396 (Point D) we walked a short way E to G7831839556 (Point E) and crossed over a fence to follow the line of an old ditch up the hillside to cross a subsidiary rounded top of the hill before making for the top proper at G7820039838 (Point F). This is on a distinctive knoll but,as frequently found in these hills no marker indicates the top. This proved to be a very pleasing spot to sit and enjoy lunch. After our break we followed the ridge along over a couple of rounded knolls and then, as it curved around NW, to its high NW prow at G7801740280 (Point G) from where we descended steeply down the grassy slope to the valley below. Once down we headed WNW for Crockaun's our next top but could have headed due W, passing the cliff edged Pt 374 on the right (N) to pick up the track at G767401 (Point H) and a short walk back to the car.

Point D: G782 396	Point E: G78318 39556	Point F: G78200 39838
Point G: G78017 40280	Point H: G767 401	(turn area map On)

by madfrankie 8 Feb 2010 The small cliff-girted rise to the left of foreground is Crockauns' minor 374m top. Behind that, on left, is Hangman's Hill. Right of centre is Keelogyboy NE Top, with Keelogyboy on right.
