There is just about room for a single car to park close to a double gate at W054 647 A, just north of Gowlane Bridge. Cross the gate and you will see a track to the right. Follow this for a few hundred metres until is vanishes on the open hillside. Continue east across a gently rising slope, over mostly shortish grass, the ground firm underfoot, at least in summer. Cross the small stream at W062 645 B and turn SE, the ascent becoming steeper. You will encounter some large rock faces as you near the top, but these are generally easy to negotiate. The summit is marked by a small cairn topped by a pointy upright stone. Car to summit, 50 minutes. Great views in particular of Lough Nambrackderg set into the side of Caoinkeen SE Top to the west.

The summit of Conigar is NOT located at the point suggested here (W 060 628 C) (566m). If you look at the OS map closely, you can see a '570m' contour just underneath the 'ar' in the English spelling of Conigar. The Irish spelling obscures most of the contour detail and it is very easy to miss. Going by the shape of the summit, I would estimate that the correct height is probably about 572m. The correct location for the summit is W 0664 6387 D. The attached photo shows the view back up the ridge from the incorrect summit of 566m. The yellow line shows the outline of the 564m hill in between and the true summit of Conigar is shown approx 1km to the NE. There are no features on the summit other than 2 small piles of stones on a rock. The easiest way to get to it is probably to take a short detour (1km) to the SW from Lough Glas if you are doing the Gougane Barra horseshoe walk. The ground is very wet with lots of pools to get around. It must be even worse in the Wintertime. The views from there and the false summit to the SW are very good with most of the mtns in West Cork visible as well as Bantry Bay and Sheeps Head.

Fine rocky summit with magnificent views to the west in particular. Pic shows Lough Nambrackderg cut into the side of Caoinkeen SE Top. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/333/comment/18154/

Parked at W05344 63922 F (one car - just). Walked back to the gate and straight up the hill for the peak. It's less than 1.5 hours up and back. Views from the top ok, but the nicest view is over the Borlin valley on the way back down. Pretty boggy at the start of the walk in June. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/333/comment/15022/
