Followed Fergalh's excellent directions up to the top. Overgrown path may need trimming to get through in growing season. Took my 5yr old granddaughter along for the adventure but she got a little scared with the high winds at the top. Smiles afterwards however. Fine views all round.

Most central hill in Ireland??
by TommyV
5 Jul 2019
Heading North from the little village of Rosemount will bring you near this hill. I found parking beside an old abandoned house at B (N24222 42974) and proceeded to walk up a road which leads to a house where the owners of the land reside. They were out cutting the lawn and had no problems showing me the best way to access the hill through their land. 15 minutes later I was back at the car. It dawned on me that this must be the most central hill in Ireland and so possibly the best place to view the plains of the midlands. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1293/comment/20132/

Hunting and shooting forbidden
by ceadeile
17 Jan 2018
The path described by FergalH is now, January 2018, very overgrown. There are many thorn bushes in particular which make it a somewhat dangerous for your eyes. A simpler approach is to park at the disused quarry gate at C (N24035 43266) and walk 100m NW along the road to D (N23968 43330) where a double locked gate has a sign saying that hunting and shooting are forbidden. So, secure in the knowledge that you are unlikely to be hunted or shot, the well maintained field beyond the gate makes for pleasant underfoot conditions as you ascend to the top of the hill. If you keep close to the perimeter fence of the quarry and then follow the line of the stone wall uphill above the quarry you will come to another gate built into the stone wall. There are two strands of barbed wire to be negotiated then to access the field where the hilltop is located. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1293/comment/19843/
