New Comment: Cavan or Leitrim?
by Geo  Wed 24 May
Am I reading my map incorrectly or is this summit not in Cavan rather than Leitrim?
Yes it's Cavan as far as I can see. The border with Leitrim runs over the hill, but the top is in Cavan. Fixed. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/370/comment/23953/
