Overlooks the valley of Coomura. The name was recorded in 1845 as Cruckmweel with the approval of T.E. Larcom (Lieutenant Thomas Larcom of Royal Engineers, in charge of the Ordnance Survey in Ireland) and then given a standardised anglicisation as Knockmoyle by John O’Donovan, the renowned Gaelic scholar who was later appointed Professor of Celtic Languages at Queen’s College, Belfast. The Irish name for this peak is given as Eisc an Ghalláin at logainm.ie, citing the aerial map in Ó Cíobháin’s Toponomia Hiberniae III. However, this name means ‘ravine of the standing stone’ and is marked on O’Cíobháin’s own map as a ravine leading up to this peak, not as a name of the peak itself, which is unnamed on the map.   An Cnoc Maol is the 140th highest place in Ireland.

Highpoint of the plateau east of Coomavoher
Short Summary created by markmjcampion, Onzy  31 Mar 2021
Knockmoyle in mid Iveragh, close to the Glencar-Waterville road, may have an uninspiring summit but it more than makes up for this with its surrounding coums and loughs, in particular the gem that is Coomavoher. It's worth the long drive just to walk in this coum alone! And you are very likely to be alone! It also overlooks Coomura to the NE and is home to some staggering views over this desolate part of Iveragh as well as further afield to the Glenbeigh hills and Knocknadobar.

NW. For the most direct route park with care at V64723 75805 starA. Head E along the track that veers SE after a km and heads steeply up into Knockmoyle's western coum. Aim for the knoll at V66209 74570 starB after which there is a much gentler route to the summit. Allow 1.5hrs+

W. Park with permission at around V63155 7389 from where a circuit of Coomavoher itself, taking in K'moyle and K'nagantee, as well as any, or all of, Cnoc Breasail, Coomura and Coomnacronia is possible. This is a long walk and to take in all the tops allow circa 8 hours.
From this starting point it is also possible to walk into Coomavoher [a sublime experience!] and to ascend v steeply either N or S from approx. V65203 73867 starC.

S. Park either at V66909 71220 starD or V67473 70636 starE. There is a fine circuit of Eagle's Lough taking in Knocknagantee and Coomnacronia which can extended to take in both K'moyle and Coomura Mt. Allow around 5 hours

Notable tracks incl. track/3224, track/1969, track/3622 and track/4409. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/131/comment/4891/
