What a crowded summit (A (M50705 41315)) for such a small hill. We have 1 trig 4 transmitters 1 wooden cross and a Millennium Project by the people of the parish which includes a memorial a steel cross and St Bernard's well so no access problems and at the entrance to the summit area (B (M50522 41138)) a reservoir.

Nothing additional to add to the route described by Sandman. As the area around Knockroe is very flat, the views are are quite nice from a summit that is only 168 meters. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1330/comment/20100/
