Broken gates? yes, and burnt out cars? no
Short Summary created by jackill  30 Jun 2011 Park at R5237269303 (Point A) and then walk east on tracks for 1.1km to a track junction. Head NE, leaving the road following a boggy old wall, aiming for R53607 69881 (Point B),walk SW on an indistinct path to the trig pillar.

You may be tempted when coming from the R471 to go north to the stretch of road near the the summit by driving via R54816824 (Point C) - this road isn't passable from the south.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Knockanuarha in area Shannon, Ireland
Picture: View to the west of Knockanuarha
by simon3  23 Oct 2009 From the R471 Sixmilebridge to Cloonlara road it is possible to drive north from a place marked as Oatfield (R54266727 (Point D)). The road worsens as you ascend, becoming potholed though as of 2009 still passable in an ordinary car. Park at R5237269303 and then walk east on tracks around 1100m to a point where a number of tracks meet. Marvel or at least mutter darkly at the number of remains of car burnings here - I counted 6 without trying; apart from Clermont Carn, I've never seen anything like it. There are at least two ram wrecked forest gates of the heavy steel variety. Head NE, leaving the road following a boggy old wall, aiming for R 53607 69881 from where it is possible to walk SW on a better-than-nothing path to the trig pillar.

Incidentally you may have been tempted when coming from the R471 to go north to the stretch of road near the the summit by driving via R54816824 - this road isn't passablefrom the south.

What delights await you on the summit? Well there's views east to the Slieve Bernaghs around 10k away. To the west there is this view of the river Fergus.
Point D: R5426 6727

A short trek on Knockanuartha
by acorn  9 Mar 2013 Took advantage of a slight stretch in the evenings to pay a visit to Knockanuartha.
Take the R471 from Sixmilebridge towards Cloonlara as far as the junction marked “Oatfield” on OS map. GR R54224 67324 (Point E). A little church on the minor road to the right will confirm that you are at the right place. Parking for a few cars here if you prefer to continue on foot. Taking the left hand turn, heading north, I drove for about 2km until tired of dodging potholes, I parked at a forestry track at GR R53349 68664 (Point F). From here I continued on foot for 800m to a junction at GR R52860 69143 (Point G), a Caoillte bye laws sign marks the spot. Turn right here, 380m to a radio mast at GR R53224 69192 (Point H) and a further 280m to junction of several tracks at GR R53422 69498 (Point I). Take the track on the right, heading east for 500m to a bend at GR R53684 69792 (Point J) where you will see a mucky track climbing the steep bank in front of you. This will lead you to the trig point 200m further on. Hope this makes sense, it’s not as tricky as it sounds !

Glad to report, no burned out cars to be seen.
