Rough going but not far
Short Summary created by jackill  30 Aug 2010 Park at R25201 13125 (Point A) , be careful though, there is only room for one car .
Cross the fence onto the forest road , turn right and ignoring the roads climb the bank facing you and go straight up the hill , along the forest edge to the summit crossing two wire fences as you go.
This is a wet forest ride that gets rougher as you approach the leaning trig pillar.
Point A: R25201 13125

Picture: Looking towards the Paps		  
by jackill  21 Feb 2010 As I drove up the road to my start point at R25201 13125 it degenerated into a goat track.
Passing abandoned farm machines and half eaten hay bales I found myself turning the car at a open gap(only just!) and, using the forest tracks and aerial photos, was at the summit pillar in 15 minutes.Views are limited but you can see the Paps and Mullaghareirk.As of 2010 there is no sign of the windfarm that was granted planning permission a few years ago.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knockacummer in area W Limerick / N Kerry, Ireland
Picture: The trig point on the summit with an obvious tilt
by john_desmond  17 Jul 2008 Knockacummer can be aproached easily from the North. From the R576, turn off at approx R246 152 (Point B) and drive South for about 600 metres on a tarmac road until it ends in a small junction. There is limited parking available here. Take the left hand fork and follow the obvious forest track. About 100 metres West of the the sharp bend at R256 139 (Point C), you can take a short cut by going left and South for about 400 metres through the forest. Once you break back out onto the forest track, go right and look for the turn off left into the open area by the summit. The fact that there is a Trig point there and the contour lines drop off nicely on the OS map might suggest that there might be some views from here. Alas, like it's neighbour Mullaghareirk to the North, the tall trees more or less block all of the views except for the windfarm on Taurbeg to the South West. The summit is marked by a trig point which has seen better days as it has now titled over at an angle as the soft ground underneath it has begun to subside. Overall, another one of those 400 metre hills that is more or less covered in forestry.
Point B: R246 152 Point C: R256 139
