The word béillic is used in West Cork and Kerry for a rock-shelter used by shepherds. This is often an overhanging rock or group of rocks which affords some cover from the elements. There is such a rock-shelter on the southern slopes of the mountain. The word may be a variant of speilg and sceilg, and all three may ultimately be derived from Latin spelunca, ‘cave’.   Béillic is the 453rd highest place in Ireland.

Boring summit, beautiful area.
by Colin Murphy  30 Jun 2021
Like several of the hills in the area, Bealick is a summit barely discernible from the surrounding landscape, a slightly elevated boggy area that is unmarked. In compensation, there are decent views all round. As we descended to the SW we came across a fine example of a standing stone at roughly W053 652 starD, along with fine views of Lough Nambrackderg nestling in the north eastern flank of Caoinkeen SE top.
