Knockshanahullion is readily reached from the same place as Farbreaga, namely the road at R 983 089 starG. Incidentally, this road at 450m is easily the highest of the passes across the Knockmealdowns. Follow the Avondhu Way until you come to Knockclugga. Cloghy means a stony place and there are certainly stones all around. This irreverent monument from the “modern megalithic” period was standing on Knockclogga in early 2003.
