Sliabh Míol [PNNI], 'mountain of the ants') Height: 420 metres OS 1/50k Mapsheet: 29 for top Grid Ref: J21146 20593 Latitude: 54.120177 Longitude: -6.147990 ITM: 721068 820599 Prominence: 65m   Isolation: 2.0km The word míol, although often used of ants and other insects, is a generic term for animals of sorts. It can be applied to beasts ranging from grasshoppers to whales, though it is usually qualified by another word in these cases. Slieve Meelmore and Slieve Meelbeg, further north in the Mournes, have a similar origin. Slievemeel is the 738th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 58% of the goal for this summit. (Details)     COMMENTS for Slievemeel Page 1 of 1 Picture: Looking to Slievemeel from Crenville Expand pics.   Another steady little hill Short Summary created by wicklore  14 May 2011 Slievemeel is situated midway along a ridge of upland that starts with Slievemeen above Carlingford Lough to the south, and which leads eventually to Shanlieve and Eagle Mountain to the north. It is a part of the 400 metre group of hills known as Rosstrevor Mountains, and the lower slopes of these hills are extensively forested. Slievemeel has some nice views of the higher mountains to the north, as well as such small hills as Tievedockeragh, Gruggandoo and Crenville. There some good views along Carlingford Lough and over some of the coastal villages such as Rostrevor. Slievemeel can be reached from the carpark at J196 174 (Point A). At about 250 metres altitude it takes some of the effort out of the walk. Follow forest tracks north about 3kms to J205 200 (Point B). Climb the fence to handrail a forest edge upwards for about 1km before turning east to reach the boggy summit about 150 metres away. Reaching Slievemeel from Crenville to the south is difficult due to forestry and tough underfoot conditions between the two hills. You could make your way out onto the forest tracks shown on the map but Crenville makes you work, so think hard if you want to approach Slievemeel from here!

Expand pics. by csd  3 Feb 2008 I approached Sleevemeel from the forest tracks to the west. Parking at the end of the small boreen at J192 192 (Point C), my intention was to follow the tracks up to the saddle between Crenville and Slievemeel. This is harder than it looks. Coming from my starting point, you actually need to take what looks like a small path on the right about 5 - 7 mins after the forest opens out on the Mourne Way track. This will bring you up to the track that leads to the col. The summit of Slievemeel is a rounded boggy affair, adorned by a modest cairn. You do get some great views over to Crenville and Rostrevor to the south, Tievedockeragh to the north, and Shanlieve to the east. Point C: J192 192 (turn area map On) (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by three5four0  20 Jul 2008 After the slopes described in my descent from Shanlieve, the ascent of Slievemeel from the NE was not to bad, i.e., not as bad as the previous slopes. A couple of small rises mark the summit area, one with a small cairn on its NE side. The descent is more of the same, with a fence to cross before the forestry track. Beware!, the fence is close to a small stream/ditch in a couple of places, which you can not see due to the vegetation. So, be wary stepping over it, as there may be more of a step down than it looks. Onto Crenville now.
