Croghan Kinsella Mountain Cruachán A name in Irish
(Ir. Cruachán [GE], 'little stack') Wexford/ Wicklow County In Arderin, Vandeleur-Lynam Lists

Height: 606m OS 1:50k Mapsheet: 62 Grid Reference: T13096 72885 This summit has been logged as climbed by 125 members
I have climbed this summit: NO (You need to be a logged-in member to change this.)

Longitude: -6.324118, Latitude: 52.795465 Prominence: 541m,   Isolation: 2.5km,   Has trig pillar
ITM: 713020 672923,   GPS IDs, 6 char: CrghKn, 10 char: CrghnKnsl

The Uí Chinnsealaigh were the dominant Gaelic family in this area and the mountain gets the fuller version of its name from them. This helps to distinguish it from Croaghanmoira, which is a little further north.   Croghan Kinsella is the 263rd highest summit in Ireland.

by simon3  1 Apr 2003 This is an isolated peak giving a quite different vista compared to anything else in the Wicklow Mountains. In fact it is only just in Wicklow, since its summit is part of the Wicklow/ Wexford boundary. One way of accessing it is from the Raheenleagh Wood forest entrance at T 152 714 (Point A). The main forest tracks are accurately enough represented on the 1:50k map that you can find your way using it.
The summit itself is easily reached and recognisable from a trig pillar and group of rocks. The older Irish Walk Guides: East included a walk starting from North West of the summit at T 104 744 (Point B). This route went over Croghan and on to Moneyteige North (427m) and rejoined the roads at around T 148 791 (Point C). (I don't know if the exact start and finish are still useable, though I did meet a group on Croghan's summit who seemed to be doing something similar)
The view here includes Annagh Hill (454m) partly wooded to the left and in the distance on the skyline, the Blackstairs.
Point A: T152 714 Point B: T104 744 Point C: T148 791

by superterence  23 Feb 2009 Headed up Croaghan Kinsella in Feb 2009. Started at the start of its southern spur. Up through the forest on good paths. New planting has made it a little diffucult and a plunge through the forest, following a, densely gaurded at times, deer path, brought us closer to the broad ridge heading uo towards its 2nd top.Patches of snow made it more interesting. Especially for the 7 children (3-13) with us. A windy top with slidable snow slopes had us enjoying the day. The track down to the forest edge at the east of the mountain was a bit on the hard side for the feet. We cut off and up to Slivefoore just to add a little extra for the day. Nice hiking. Easy going. Good vistas.

by csd  18 Jan 2004 Climbed Croghan Kinsella today (18.02.2004) from the north; not much to add to the other comments. Yes the views are great, and yes Sheet 62 shows the forest tracks accurately, however most of the forest cover shown on the map has been (or is in the process of being) harvested. The picture shows the somewhat unusual summit cairn (it is made up of cement and rocks rather than the usual solid cement structure more normally seen) and the view south.

by milo  30 Aug 2003 Revisited Croghan after a interval of nearly 30 years. The additional fencing and clearfelled forestry made for a less pleasant walk than I had anticipated. However the panorama to the south did not disappoint. Easiest ascent from the forest entrance is to leave the track at the bend T145 735 (Point D) and follow the eastern forest edge to 540 metres. A pleasant return track contours below the southern edge of currently standing timber to re-enter forest at T149 730 (Point E). Parking is limited to about 2 cars
Point D: T145 735 Point E: T149 730

by mneary34  10 Oct 2004 We did this early in the morning on a straight up and down basis. The entrance at Raheenleagh Wood T 152 714 makes for an uncomplicated access and as said by other contributors the forest tracks appear to be accurate as shown on Sheet 62. At T 142 722 (Point F) we left the forest and headed for the summit from where there are excellent views in all directions especially along the coastline and out to sea.
Point F: T142 722

by tomcoleman  30 Aug 2008 Can be fairly readily approached from at least four directions viz Clonroe Crossroads,Toberlownagh,Monalee,and Raheenlagh WoodsT154 715 (Point G). The latter is the easiest and most common approach with forest track/road all the way but locals said that parked cars could be at risk .
A fifth approach is from the N/E at T157 778 (Point H) but there are many barbed wire fences to surmount.
Great views from top in all directions. Allow 2 1/2 hrs total walking time if using the approach via Raheenlagh Woods.
Ideal for a two car point to point route.
Point G: T154 715 Point H: T157 778
