Prominence: 95m, Isolation: 1.3km ITM: 634350 944116 Bedrock type: Whitish quartzite with pebble beds, (Slieve Tooey Quartzite Formation) Notes on name: There are two similar, but slightly different, anglicised forms of the name of this peak: Slievekeeragh, which appears on Discovery sheet 3, suggests an Irish name ending in -ach, perhaps Sliabh Caorach, 'mountain of sheep'. The other name, Slieve Keerogue Little, was recorded on the 1st edition OS 6" to the mile map, and suggests Sliabh Ciaróg, 'mountain of the beetles'. Slieve Keeroge is recorded as an alternative name for Raghtin More, the higher peak to the NW.

Did this as part of 4 peaks in Urris Hills . Parked to the west at Mam Vp (C317 442) and followed track to do Crockmain and Raghtin More first. There than followed a long walk over somewhat boggy ground to Slivekeerragh Hill and the great views in all directions. Than it was short hop over to Mamore and back to parking spot.

Started walk at a farm track A (C358 447) where there is parking for one car. Followed track to c B (C354 446) before striking out for the summit. Great views from the top of the Ragtin Beg - Urris Hills line of peaks running NE to SW. There are also fine views of Bulbin and Slieve Snaght
