Knocknaboley is the name of a townland, though obviously it originally applied to a hill, and indeed may have referred to the same peak as Corriebracks.   Corriebracks is the 472nd highest place in Ireland.

Hurry-backs-I dont think so!
by Dessie1  7 Jun 2013
Climbed Corriebracks on 12-9-11 in very high winds due to the remnants of hurricane Katia sweeping Ireland.Parked at small clearing (enough for maybe 2 cars) at yellow and black barrier (S9781799895 starD) at the end of L8349 road.I then followed the road/track for another 150m until I came to a sign warning about Tree felling in the area(S9774000769 starE).I took a right (East) turn and followed the edge of the forestry which brings you to point S9718999810 starF.From here it is slog through knee deep purple heather and hidden holes filled with water to the summit. Very good views all around-Table mt,Lobawn,Lug etc.I returned via the memorial at the plane crash site and followed previous route back to car.45 mins round trip.
