Slievecallan is an isolated peak, the highest in SW Clare. Given the altitude and boggy, infertile terrain, Callán/Collán is more likely to be the element meaning 'height' which appears in names such as Sliabh gCallann (Slieve Gallion in Derry) and   Slievecallan is the highest hill in the West Clare area and the 855th highest in Ireland. Slievecallan is the most southerly summit in the West Clare area and also the most westerly.

Fine views, inbetween the mist!
by paddyhillsbagger  31 Jul 2011 Left car at forestry entrance on highest point on the R474 Ennis Milltown Malby Rd. R136756 (Point A). Walked up tracks serving a house, small quarry, forestry, turf cutting and mast. After passing through a gate, I took a straight line up a cutting to left of forest. This is a steep short climb on rough terrain which leads to a very boggy and uneven summit plateau. Trig is to right or NE from this cutting route. The farmer I met says there is a track to the top, possibly to serve turf works, but I retraced my steps back down. Fine views were had when the mist cleared. Roughly an hour depending on tracks taken.
Point A: R136 756
