Picture: Stones at south end of flat summit
Small but tricky climb
by Fergalh 8 Dec 2024
Parked at A (N814 090) on the curragh and walked east along L3006 to where there are abandoned farm buildings B (N821 089). Met famer who waved from tractor as i walked along track and headed south up hill through fields to fence. I found the section which had least brambles and headed through this gap. A final sharp climb led to flat summit. Some Rocks mark southern end however i suspect the north end is slightly higher. Great views in all directions, however access is very difficult and i also met farmer on a good day. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1529/comment/24339/
