Cnoc Fírinne is strongly associated with fairies. Mentioned in Aodhagán Ó Rathaille's poems and in the Fionn tales, it was regarded as the seat of a deity or fairy-king called Donn Fírinne. It was also the focus of a Lughnasa gathering. It seems that Knockfeerina is the 972nd highest summit in Ireland. Knockfeerina is the most northerly summit and also the most easterly in the W Limerick / N Kerry area.

Picture: Mountainview top 300!

A wet 300.

by paddyhillsbagger 23 Jun 2012 Decided to bag my 300th top on way down to Cork. Climbed hill from R452 356 after asking friendly farmer. Was short walk to top which was enclosed in a wet and windy shower so saw nothing but got soaked! Would be lovely walk on summers day using pdf as suggested by scapania.
