Longitude: -8.539821, Latitude: 54.75094, Easting: 165290, Northing: 389356,
Prominence: 141m, Isolation: 2.5km ITM: 565247 889347 Bedrock type: Whitish quartzite with pebble beds, (Slieve Tooey Quartzite Formation) Notes on name: 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.

Parking beside Loch na Luchranan in a disused quarry at B (G65517 88973) 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: mountainviews.ie/summit/1115/comment/18475/
