Summit Comment Colin Murphy a week ago
The descent from Scarr NW affords fine views of the Glenmacnass Waterfall and the expansive valley below it, far better than you'll get when you're at road level.

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.
