Short Summary created by Harry Goodman  24 Jan 2014
Start from the car park for the Deserted Village F640072 A and follow the stone track W for about 1.7km to F624070 B. Leave the main track and go NW up the hillside to a small subsidiary top and the ruins of an old Signal Tower. From here veer down W to a shallow col and then up NW a short way to gain the top of the hill with views down to the remote and, seldom visited, Annagh Strand and Lough Nakeeroge. Alternatively start from Dooagh village F606049 C and follow the track NE to its crest around F623067 D before leaving it and climbing up NW to the Signal Tower already mentioned above.
