Cnoc na Sleá is the modern Irish form. Arguably the Classical Irish form Cnoc na Sleighe is more faithful to the pronunciation.   Cnoc na Sleá is the 1459th highest place in Ireland. Cnoc na Sleá is the second most northerly summit in the Donegal North area.

Parked at the beach car park at 118420 starA, and walked along the Rosses Strand to the re-entrant, splitting the hill from pt104. There is a faint path, leading up to the minor col and then east (by a fence) to the summit. What a little gem of a hill! The views are grand with Horn Head, Tory Island and as mentioned by Slemish, Loughsalt Mountain, which we had climbed earlier in the day all re-splendid. Return by way of ascent.
