MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Cashelmore (<i>An Caiseal Mór</i>) in area Donegal North, Ireland
Picture: The rough hump that is Cashelmore Fort from the south.
 
Huge views from a rough heathery top with ringfort.
Short Summary created by simon3  11 Oct 2015
An obvious place to start is at the beginning of a short track C17206 40627 starA. This rough but initially cyclable track leads you to rough ground from which is it reasonably easy to reach the top. Note, the top has a recorded ringfort on it. There are a number of animal tracks leading to the top.
There is a huge panorama of 360 degrees of views from this summit including Muckish, Slieve Snaght, the Knockalla Bay, several coastal points and bays. To the SW is the Harry Blaney bridge, built 2009. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1349/comment/15593/

A quick up-and-down with nice views.
by David-Guenot  3 Oct 2015
Not much space for a car alongside the road, so I parked near a junction with a dead end at C17024075 starB, leaving enough room for other vehicles to pass. From there, I headed straight uphill, crossing a track en-route. The only obstacle is a stonewall, but I quickly found a breach and carefully crossed it, too. From there it is a steep but short pull up to the top, following the faint sheeptracks that zigzag through the heather. On top, you will find the ruins of a stone fort and will enjoy some nice views over Lurgacloughan Bay, Mulroy Bay and the Knockalla ridge to the E and SE, Ballyhiernan Bay to the N, the N end of Rosguill and Cnoc na Slea to the W, and the Derryveaghs and Loughsalt Mountain to the S and SW. I came down the same way. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1349/comment/18344/
