An Seabhac reports hearing from a shanachee that the correct name was Cathair Bhláthnaide, 'Bláthnaid's stone fort'. Bláthnaid was the daughter of the king of the Isle of Man. Cú Chulainn and Cú Roí fell out over who would have her hand. See Caherconree. Previously Ballyarkane Oughter in MV.   Caherbla is the 325th highest place in Ireland.

I guess not many would target this curiously-named top on its own, but if you've got an hour or two the north-south road that crosses the range to the west provides a handy leg-up.
Steep but dryish ground rises towards harmless crags. Beyond these a short ascent brings you to an outcropped rise and the unmarked summit.
Caherconree looms to the north, but a good views in all directions, with Moanlaur not far westwards.
Even unfit and slightly hungover, I was up and down to the road in 1hr 20 mins. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/302/comment/1853/
