My advice - keep driving until you reach Leitrim or Sligo unless you are an incurable Binnion collector.
Westmeath is not very well endowed with interesting hills but Cruckboeltane must be a candidate for the worst hill in the county.
Time spent searching for the summit, on your knees, under the forest canopy, would be much better spent doing something else - like going for a swim in Lough Owel at Portnashangan. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1295/comment/23744/
