Located on southern boundary of Glennahoo townland. The location of this feature looks odd on the Discovery map but on the 1/2 inch map it is the lower peak which directly overlooks Maghanaboe and An Seabhac's description confirms this: binn árd cnuic ar an dteorainn theas [Glennahoo townland]. Anglicised name appears on ½ inch map.   Binn an Tuair is the 313th highest place in Ireland.

Binn an Tuair 'the hill for bleaching flax'
by liz50  10 Jan 2021
Being restricted to my county of Kerry has given me the opportunity to explore new routes to access the local mountains. Having discovered the delights of a valley known locally as Macha na Bo (The valley of the cows) or Glenahoo I had been drawn to an imposing rocky outcrop on the western slope of Beenatoor approx 100m below the summit. This involved a steep vertical ascent of 450m having left the main track into the valley at Q548 091 starA to gain a superb vantage point looking down into the valley, across to Slievenalecka and Slieveanea to the west and the snow capped Brandon range to the North west. A lung bursting climb to the rather dull summit of Beenatoor (Binn an Tuair meaning the 'hill of the bleaching flax' locally) followed. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/291/comment/22040/
