New Comment: Short trek to summit
by Fergalh  14 Nov 2024
Parking for one car at gate to the south west a short drive from Athboy at a crossroads 735 644 starA. Short walk to summit from stile through a field. Aerial photographs show the ring fort better than can be seen on ground although the rings are noticeable. The Spire of Lloyd and Tara Hill can be seen from the summit which has good views despite the small height Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1526/comment/24331/
