One approach is to start at the forest entrance at J216 237 A. Ascend Tievedockaragh and continue to follow Batt's Wall past the summit, down into the col. Continue along the wall (which is partly replaced by a wire fence in the col) until it starts rising again on the western slope of Shanlieve, point J237 228 B, the turn SSE, climbing for about 1km to take you up on to the broad area separating Shanlieve from Finlieve. The terrain in the area is uneven and covered in long grass and heather, and difficult to navigate. Then continue south up the gently rising slope for another 2km through an area marked by deep peat hags, to reach the summit, which is marked by a small pile of rocks. Extensive views all around of Carlingford Lough and and the Binnians in the distance. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1414/comment/18042/

By my calculation this is the 4th time I have had to complete my local 100, thankfully the pre 2014 remains the same. Although I have walked in this area many times over the years I could not say for certain if I visited the summit or not so, on a beautiful June afternoon, I rectified this. Parking at J2517717062 C I accessed the summit via the track marked on the Activity Map, a nice easy ramble. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1414/comment/18135/

While descending Finlieve spotted this unusually orderly group of sheep who seemed to be playing 'follow the leader'. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1414/comment/20895/
