There are several hills of this name, one further west in Mayo, one in Fermanagh (anglicised Trustia) and one near Mullaghmast in Co. Kildare (Trustiu in the Metrical Dindshenchas). Why these hills have a name meaning 'tripod' is unclear, but some a Tristia is the 936th highest summit in Ireland.

A little steep one!

by shaunkelly 13 Apr 2012 Decided to do this smaller one to rest the legs after being blown over a couple of times on neighbouring Nephin. I parked at the junction of the forest road and the R316 at 078 088 (Point A). I had intended to turn right at the T -junction of the forest track at 078 091 (Point B) and then follow the edge of the forest up to the summit. Unfortunately this T junction had a fence across the right turn with silage bales behind it. Even though it does still appear as Coillte property I wasn't sure and decided to head for St Patricks Holy Well at 073 087 (Point C) to approach from there. It turns out you could easily turn and park 4 cars at the well.

I then went over a stile at the end of the forest trail and crossed a ditch and turned uphill after about 30m. After that I walked up steeply through the larger trees. No "fir-bashing" required though! Not an easy walk because of the steepness, but not unlike the other mountains in this area. Plenty of fraughaun bushes on this hill but didn't see any on Nephin.

Point A: G078 088

Point B: G078 091

Point C: G073 087
