Summit position recently revised.
Short Summary created by Peter Walker, simon3  11 Jan 2015
The position of the highest point of this general area was reassessed in Nov 2014 and replaced by Bunnanimma. The former summit was called Carrickatee in MV with position H72704 14804 starA.

The newly identified summit is still accessed from the lane running under Carrickatee, and the best of the limited parking is at (727149 starB) adjacent to the water tower. Continue WSW along the lane which in time becomes a track. The summit area is clearly visible to the right, and is most easily accessed by climbing over a gate and then taking an oblique course across the field and over a (very) low wall.

Sticklers who insist on standing on the exact highest point of a hill are advised that Bunnanimma's summit is (currently, at least) covered by a substantial gorse bush, so armour might be an idea.

The Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland 1844 said Crieve or Bunnanimma mountain, though rising to less than 900 feet of altitude above sea-level, is the highest ground, not only in the parish, but in the county, and forms part of the central water-shed of the island. Its form is lumpish and spreading; its circumference round the base is about 6 miles; its rock is metalliferous, and has been mined near the parish church, for lead ore ..

Awesome views.
by pauric50  20 Dec 2017
I live a half a mile from here and the views are quite amazing. Before you come to the summit you see an old stone ruins which I don't know what it originally was. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1189/comment/19816/

Baggers Only

Do not go out of your way unless you are bagging but access is easy but a bit mucky. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1189/comment/15892/

So Obvious.
by sandman  4 Dec 2014
As you stand on the summit of this hill it is obvious that you are on the highest point which is approx 886mts from the previous high point listing. Just continue in the small lane from Carrickatee to reach the summit which although it is on farm land there are no access issues. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1189/comment/17756/

Missing Trig?
by paddyhillsbagger  28 Nov 2014
[Note: this comment referred to the previously understood high point of the area and is now not relevant.]
The OSi Publicviewer shows a trig point on the way to this summit beside a water tower but none was visible on my visit. I asked some locals to no avail so then emailed OSi themselves to get this reply;

In response to your query about the trig pillar on the wind map.
The point was part of the secondary trig network. Not all these points were in the form of trig pillars some were on existing high points such as the water tank. While the map lists it as a trig pillar a more accurate description would be a trig point.
To answer your question the point has not been destroyed it is positioned on the top of the water tank and is not accessible to the public.
