Finlieve is a southern shoulder of Shanlieve / Eagle Mountain. The name is locally pronounced without the final consonant, as witnessed by the anglicised form Finley on James Williamson’s map of Co. Down (1810). The name Fionnshliabh, like Seanshliabh (Shanlieve), is linguistically notable as one of a small group of mountain names consisting of close compounds. In this case the adjective fionn, ‘white, fair’, is combined with sliabh, ‘mountain’.   Finlieve is the 344th highest place in Ireland.

Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  21 Sep 2020
One approach is to start at the forest entrance at J216 237 starA. 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 starB, 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/
