Summary
for Slievenamon North-West Top (Sliabh na mBan barr thiar thuaidh):
Almost a summit.
Summary created by jackill

At the top of this track is a concrete building with bits of decaying aerial near it. Go past this uphill to the north on a gradual slope to the summit area of Slievenamon. Head downhill north on steep ground before a gradual rise to the summit of Slievenamon North-West Top which is marked by a cairn of flat stones and what appears to be an excavated cist grave. At this point is well worth continuing to Knockahunna and Slievenamon North-East Top making a good circuit in an isolated mountain area.
