by john_desmond  3 Apr 2005
As can be seen from the photo, Knockaterriff Beg is just a piece of high ground on the ridge that goes South to Knockaterriff itself. The photo shows the usual path from Temple Hill to Lyracappul. Most people dont bother with Knockaterriff Beg and just skirt around the side of it as it is shorter. No distinctive features on it other than a small metal post about 2 foot high near the top. The cairn that is shown to the North-West of the summit in OS No.74 is most likely a mistake and probably should be shown just to the North-West of Knockaterriff itself.
