The anglicised form Bunnacunneen appears to be a corruption. It would suggest an original Irish name *Bun an Choinín, which would mean 'the end or tail of the rabbit’, but the true name is Binn Uí Chuinneáin, 'Kinnane’s peak’. Walks: for a route to the summit from the SW, see Whilde & Simms, New Irish Walk Guide - West and North, 54-55.   Binn Uí Chuinneáin is the 350th highest place in Ireland.

This is a lovely walk particularly for if you are bringing children (age 13 & 10 ) as the views of mountains to be climbed is spectacular . We climbed it on the 30th Dec and despite the continuous rain it was particularly dry underfoot and the temptation do do the circut was high but time was against us.
