This is a picture of Buckaun East taken from the valley below.. Obviously the safest way to go up and down this is to the left or south of the ridge.

This headland, along with the Three Sisters and Sybil Head on the other side of Smerwick Harbour, are remnants of a chain of hills that were worn down by glacial action and eventually broken through by the sea.   Ceann Bhaile Dháith is the 1275th highest place in Ireland. Ceann Bhaile Dháith is the second most northerly summit in the Dingle West area.

dbloke on Ceann Bhaile Dháith, 2009
by dbloke  23 Jun 2009
Low cloud had descended on the Kingdom on Sunday 21st June, so we decided to stay low. The forecast was for it to clear up later in the day. It didn't. It got foggy. Didn't stop me getting ridiculously sunburned though! We started from the junction at the village of Feohanagh by the pub called An Cuinne Q395 097 C as recommended by Kevin Corcoran in his 'Kerry Walks' book. We later discovered there is space to park further along the road nearer the start of the cliff path at Q389 100 A. The path is easy going and gently rises all the way to the remains of the tower at the top of Ballydavid Head. Apparently there are great views of the Blasket Islands and The Three Sisters. We will definitely be back to do this walk again on a clearer day, extending it over Beenmore and on towards Brandon Creek. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1004/comment/3881/
