It is likely that the name of this hill was simply An Binnín and that the name Cnoc an Bhinnín arose from the need to distinguish the hill from the townland of the same name.   Binnion is the 1286th highest place in Ireland.

followed eejaymm's initial parking directions for Annagh except I didn 't take the lane beyond the fence and opted for a direct assaultafter parking at the dead end down to the left of his parking place. Climbed on 4/20 and scrambled my way thru ankle deep and knee deep heather . At one point I put my selfie stick down to photograph some lichen and I walked on without the stick. Took me an hour to summit after multiple rests. After an hour on top enjoying the magnificent views on a glorious sunny day I considered following the track down but after 15 minutes on it I backtracked as I thought it was taking me too far off course for my car, Scrambled down the way I came up and looked for my selfie stick which I didn't find. But amazingly there was another selfie stick standing up out the grass. So I took it, if the original owner would like it back . Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1003/comment/24188/
