I visited this place: NO (You need to be a logged-in member for this.)
Having made the decision not to trouble myself with finding a way through new planting I chose to ignore the Coillte entrances and parked beside a farm house (A (F98013 07227)) with the view of reaching the summit (B (F98290 07029)) by the shortest route. I asked for permission and the farmer kindly told me I could access via a field entrance approximately 60m from the house towards Letterkeen and directly opposite the gate was a gap in the fence into the old wooded area. Although the ascent was steep it was easy as the sheep had made trails towards the top. On reaching the open hillside although there was heather it was not a problem with easy enough walking. For such a small hill the views were fab. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1170/comment/18263/

I saw this hill while climbing Birreencorragh earlier in the day and I was struck by its shape when viewed from the East. In geological terms I think its a 'roche moutonnée', a hill or rock shaped by the passing of a glacier...who wouldn't want to climb it? I had also noted earlier that it was an unclimbed MV top so extra value for the effort. and it does take effort as its surrounded by quite new forestry and this makes for slow, ankle-twisting terrain.
