Summary for Currane Hill : Reasonable views from summit with masts and cross.

Picture: View from the cross
One way of reaching the top is from the north at A (W33833 50501) (room for 1 car), walk back up the hill to a gate at B (W33989 50434), then follow the track up the hill. At the top of the hill you meet several masts and an interesting cross which appears to have been erected in 1950. The trig point itself is on top of a cement plinth and offers reasonable views from a somewhat flat hill top.

Parking update
by Wildrover 20 Oct 2020
Starting at B (W33989 50434) there is parking available for a number of vehicles to park by the road to the right side of the entrance as you face uphill.The gate has a beware of the bull sign on it and as track is on a farm and used by livestock care is advised Follow the track to the top which has a collection of masts, a holy year cross and trig pillar on its elevated perch.Cant comment on the view or otherwise as visibility was very poor for my visit to the top.
