Fine views from small top.

The OSi map has Slieveward at G652 275 starB and 189m whilst the summit on Mountainviews is as above. I started at G65492 26718 starC at the top of a farm rd. I spoke to a local farmer who was fine with leaving the car there (room for 2) and OK for climbing the hill. He mentioned there was an old track for a mass rock. I did find a small laneway but it petered out on the lower slopes and dense scrubby undergrowth impeded a short climb to a heather and rock unmarked top. Marvelous views all round and an added bonus of my 1st Red Admiral of the year flying round the summit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1294/comment/17936/
