The first element in the name Carnmoney is clearly Ir. carn, ‘cairn’, but the second element is less certain. Patrick McKay interprets it as monadh, ‘mountain’, which fits the landscape. However, whilst monadh is common in Scottish place-names, it is rare in Ireland. Other possibilities include muine, ‘thicket’, and mónadh, ‘bog’. The form Cnoc Charn Monaidh is offered here as a reconstruction. Carnmoney Hill is the 1334th highest place in Ireland. Carnmoney Hill is the second most northerly summit in the Belfast Hills area.

Good way to spend an evening in Belfast

Like Aidy I was in Belfast for work and ill equipped for any serious jaunt. However, I did find a simple route to the top of Carnmoney, which offers panoramic views of Belfast and surrounds. As eamonoc, start from the Ballyduff side. The lane from A eomonoc used is now gated. But a few yards west of the start of this lane on Ballyduff Road is a cinder track, which leads without obstruction or bog to the summit. Out and back this way would be a very quick jaunt. In my case, being on the bus, I carried on over the summit and came down into Glengormley via Glebe Road (head SW off the summit and you will hit a farm track). Very enjoyable.
