You can also start this hike at the entrance to Derroura forest as detailed in some of the comments for Keeraunnageeragh. Head along the good forest track for at least three km until you are at more or less the closest point to the summit. You will pass an obvious bike track on the left and shortly after that the track descends. Keep descending for a couple of hundred metres until the forest thins a little on the right...it doesn't look like there's a way through but there is indeed an easy way if yu persist. The forest is very narrow here so you will soon reach a fence and after crossing this it's an easy slog through fairly short grass to the summit...although this is a classic example of a layered set of false summits and, although it's a low hill, it feels like you'll never reach the top!

Views over Lough Corrib.
by sandman 16 May 2016
Park adjacent to what seems a holiday home at T'beg L N (M01486 46952) and access the hill via the farm tract .By keeping to the left in the farm yard you will see a pedestrian gate which allows you on to the open hill ,no fences to cross and the farmer has no problem with you using his property provided you observe the country code as sheep are present. Good views of Lough Corrib and over to Mweelrea. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1183/comment/18525/
