The name 'Butter Mountain' is not a reference to EU surpluses. It probably comes from the practice of burying butter to preserve it. It was used by people who tended cattle in the mountains during the summer. [Mícheál Ó Mainnín] The name Butter Mountai Butter Mountain is the 464th highest summit in Ireland.

Picture: Butter Mountain from the east.

A short but rewarding climb.

Short Summary created by simon3, Harry Goodman 5 May 2012 For a short and simple walk up this hill park at Spelga Dam J268 273 (Point A). Walk a short way (E) along the road to a track on the left J269 273 (Point B). Follow this part of the way uphill before striking out NE on a grassy track to gain the high point J2747827981 (Point C). For modest effort there are rewarding views from the top. East and north to the line of the high Mournes from Slieve Muck to Slieve Meelmore. To the SE over Spelga Dam Pidgeon Rock, Slievemoughanmore and Eagle Mt stand out and nearer at hand Slievenamiskin, Cock and Hen Mts. For an alternatively route park at the Blue Quarry (Ott Track) car park on the Slievenaman Road J280 279 (Point D). Take the stone steps up from the back of the car park and once over the wooden stile go up W to the top. Once there, for a looped walk, descend by way of the route up from Spelga Dam. Once down at the road go left up to the road junction where another left turn will soon lead back to the start.

Point A: J268 273	Point B: J269 273	Point C: J27478 27981
Point D: J280 279
