Slievenashaska is the name of a townland in the parish of Kilcrohane which lies to the SE of this peak and reaches to the summit. Slievenashaska Lough is in this townland and is also known as the Fiddle Lake, apparently from its shape. The name Com Cait Con, which applies properly to the coom to the N of this peak, is understood locally as the 'hollow of the cat and the greyhound'. Thanks to An Brainse Logainmneacha for providing this information. The anglicised form Coomeathcun on the OSI map is a mis-spelling. Previously known as Coomcathcun on MV.   Sliabh na Seasca is the 342nd highest place in Ireland.

Coomcathcun's extensive plateau is an obstacle course of water and rock. Navigation will be difficult in poor conditions. There is a real sense of remoteness. Human traffic is almost non existent. This would be an interesting place to set up camp for a few days of contemplation. Getting there would not be easy, but it would be worth it. My particular favorites are the many tiny lakes, and their rocky cradles. The photo is taken at point V 63744 69914 C and shows the nearby lake, with Kenmare Bay and Beara in the background Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/313/comment/16034/
