Maum Hill An Mám A name in Irish Ir. An Mám [logainm.ie], 'the pass' Donegal County in Ulster Province, in Binnion List, Whitish quartzite with pebble beds Bedrock

Longitude: -8.539821, Latitude: 54.75094 , Easting: 165290, Northing: 389356 Prominence: 141m,  Isolation: 2.5km
ITM: 565247 889347,   GPS IDs, 6 char: Maum, 10 char: Maum
Bedrock type: Whitish quartzite with pebble beds, (Slieve Tooey Quartzite Formation)

The name "Maum" appears on the 6" map and on the Discovery map. However, according to logainm.ie, the name belongs to a pass situated to the west of this peak on the southern slopes of Slievetooey, and this seems to be a more appropriate place to be so named.   An Mám is the 1104th highest place in Ireland.

Parking available at G 64147 88864 starA near McMonigle Stoneworks.
The total hike trip of approx. 3 kms with 160m ascent should take around an hour.
Allow a little extra time to enjoy the views.
Don't stray too near the very steep ground to the North West. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1115/comment/20869/

Short Climb.
by sandman  29 Mar 2016
Parking beside Loch na Luchranan in a disused quarry at G6551788973 starB will allow you a short climb to the heather covered summit with its fine views over Maghera Strand. The gravel track to the lough would not be suitable for low ground clearance vehicles. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1115/comment/18475/
